Moon and Coronas

2006.12.04










Here are some photos of the moon and a Corona around the moon from Monday Dec 4th. The moon is pretty blurry because I was shooting through clouds. But the coronas are turned out. a Lunar coronae are much more familiar than those around the sun. They are seen when the clouds are thin enough that each single corona light ray reaching the eye is scattered or diffracted by only one droplet. Of course, the whole corona is made by a great many droplets individually scattering the moonlight.

Najeli Beautiful. The last two shots are perfect. The moon with the corona is so misterious...

pattyb Wow, I love #3 with the branch in the foreground. Makes me look over my shoulder for a werewolf!
