When I stepped outside last night, I was greeted with this sight!
I was doing some research to share with you and found that the
halo is refracted light. According to Universe Today, it is light refracted
through ice crystals suspended in the upper atmosphere between
five and ten kilometers in altitude.

Thanks for doing the research. I had no idea about ice crystals. Cool photo too, but it seems so much more interesting with that bit of research you did.
