The night sky is absolutely breathtaking tonight over Kharagpur. There are a few low clouds moving swiftly across the sky, creating an image not very unlike the one in The Highwayman, yet the stars steal out in between, sparkling away merrily.
There is a cool breeze, probably its raining somewhere close by.
But tonight's striking feature is the halo around the moon, visible when the cloud cover clears intermittently.
I don't have a pic of this night's moon. But here's one from the net that's close enough.
I'll pique your curosity by telling you that the ring would always be of the same size no matter when or where it forms
The reason is as beautiful as the phenomena. Read it here.
The above site mentions that this could be the sign of bad weather. I'm keeping a close watch on my weather sticker.
ya the same ring has been observed out here, too...and ppl have been much intrigued by this unusual phenomenon...i'm sending a few actual pics to the grp mail if possible...thx for the info abt the phenomenon, the whole of iimc appreciates it ;)
