well here in the southern highlands in nsw i can see the moon in the centre of a bright ring, a perfect circle, like a shoddow

yeah thats a refraction of light caused by microscopic ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. either in cirrus clouds (aprox 20km high) or noctilucent clouds (aprox 80-100km high)


Also this is common during the day around the sun, also called sun dogs. So you could call these moon dogs?
