Last night I saw there was a moon halo. I couldn't actually see the moon because it was obscured by the clouds, and in this picture it was further obscured by my house's chimney, which I think adds to the effect:

I had noted in my November 2024 log that I had seen the Moon with a halo and I think that was the first time I'd acknowledged such a thing. Here is a description of the phenomenon:

A lunar halo is a luminous ring that encircles the [light of the] moon, created when moonlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through hexagonal ice crystals suspended in high-altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds*. This phenomenon is most commonly observed around a full or nearly full moon, as the increased brightness of the moon enhances the visibility of the halo.

*I warned you about those clouds!

Tomorrow the Moon moves into Gemini where Jupiter presently resides:

As the Full Moon moves into Gemini where Jupiter resides, astrology suggests a burst of activity around communication, learning, and shared ideas. Conversations may grow louder, news may travel faster, and curiosity may run high, bringing fresh perspectives or sudden realizations. Meanwhile, Jupiter’s influence is believed to amplify everything Gemini touches — from social connections to media and information — making this a moment of expansion and enthusiasm, but also one that calls for discernment amid exaggeration or overload. - ChatGPT

I like taking photographs of the evening sky. Here's one from a couple of evenings ago:

And one from last month:

I've now come to realise that I haven't uploaded anything to DeviantArt since March... 2023. I need to address this...
