Theres a ring around the moon right now, what does this mean?

Anniversary of the sun and the moon; it's a wedding ring. The moon is the wife of the Sun, on this day they consumated their marriage and conceived baby Jesus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo
A 22° halo is a halo, one type of optical phenomenon, forming a circle with a radius of approximately 22° around the Sun, or occasionally the Moon (also called a moon ring or winter halo). It forms as sunlight is refracted in millions of randomly oriented hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. The halo is large; the radius is roughly the size of an outstretched hand at arm's length.[1] A 22° halo may be visible on as many as 100 days per year—much more frequently than rainbows.[1]

Common refractory phenomenon.

That isn't a moon bow. It is a 22 degree halo.

Fog.

but why a circle
>>7743057
Well would a triangle or octagon or some shit make more sense? A circle is just created because it reaches equal distances at all points

The light is coming from the moon and is reflecting/refracting off the crystals in the atmosphere. It is like staring at a flashlight in rain or fog. you can sometimes see a similar effect.
A rainbow created by the sun is the same thing only the light source will be behind you. The rainbow is also a circle, it is just so large that you usually never see it fully. If you stand on a ladder and spray mist from a garden hose around in the air on the shadow side of the ladder you can see an entire circular rainbow.

It's basically like a rainbow, which are also circles (obviously the other half circle of a rainbow is under the horizon, but in this case the radius of light being refracted is much smaller),
What thought process led you here instead of google?

Because this is obviously /popsci/.

this.
the moon is self illuminating. evidence by having behaviors not common of sphereoids reflecting a light source.
>flat face
>full illuminated disk and no hot spot
It is circular because your eyes are circular, camera lenses are circular, and the light that is the moon has a big reflector shade around it, it is evidence of our simulation and the flat earth.

Nope
Means rain soon

It means you have glaucoma.
