A February Moon's Halo
Last Tuesday, February's Full Moon lit the night. Sometimes called the Snow Moon, the Moon was not quite full in this mosaicked skyscape recorded on February 2 south of Budapest, Hungary.

Refraction of moonlight by the six-sided crystals produced the slightly colored halo with its characteristic radius of 22 degrees. Bright star Aldebaran is just below the Moon.
