Description


Taken from my driveway last night. I grew up in NYC, with buildings & lots of lights all around at night, so I really didn't get to spend much time enjoying the night sky as a child. In my freshman year of college (which was out on Long Island in a much less light polluted environment in 1967), my roommate & I snuck out one night & took our first ever puffs of a joint (which a friend had mailed me from California) in the woods near our dorm. As we started to feel the effects, I looked up at the sky & I saw my first ever orange ring around a full moon, in a cloud filled sky which looked very much like the one last night. At the time, we weren't sure whether it was a drug-induced hallucination or a real, objective, physical phenomena & it wasn't until I saw another such ring a few months later that I learned the answer... Please zoom.

I would be scary when I would be a wolf and see the orange ring around the moon! Interesting story 😉

the orange is striking, and you got real presence in such low light. It looks a bit like a galaxy or nova, from the hues; and those stunning strains of aqua greens crossing the moon are beautiful.
