What causes that? It looks pretty sweet

Its called a lunar halo, its from ice crystals/water vapor in the clouds, they act like tiny lenses.I've read about them and seen pics, but never saw one with my own eyes.Fucking great

Wow thats kinda neat! I know of another strange atmospherical abnormality that I noticed a few years back.

When it really cold outside, im talking nose hairs freezing when u walk outside. Sometimes it appears there is a second and occasionally 3rd sun. I believe the term for them is "sun dogs" and its a similar phenomenon with moisture in the air condensing and freezing, reflecting off the sun and creating the illusion of the additional "suns".

Even if you could, the halo wouldn't of been visible from where you're at anyway.

Just the white "cloud" type object which looks to be behind it?
