It's gone already.

There was a perfect cloud ring around the moon.

The radius was huge and lit up from the moon.

Really hard to explain but it looked like a hole in the sky.

Ice crystals in the atmosphere.

That's it!

Crystal clear black sky with a bright moon and the halo was really well defined.

Did you take that?

What is it?

Ice crystals, of a certain type, pencil shaped, high in the atmosphere. It creates a 22 degree halo around the moon and the sun.

Cool.

Thx.

Know I just need an explanation for the black columns of light I see around here at times.

They look like a stationary search light but the column of "light" is darker than the surrounding night sky.
