Some nights in the mountains just make you stop and look up. 🌙✨
We caught this incredible ring around the moon over Wildwood last night. It’s called a lunar halo, and it happens when moonlight passes through tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere, creating a nearly perfect circle around the moon.
There’s also an old saying that a ring around the moon means a change in the weather is coming — and there’s actually a little science behind that one. The high, thin clouds that create lunar halos can sometimes show up ahead of an approaching weather system.
But science aside… it was just really, really cool. ❤️
One of our favorite things about being tucked away in the mountains is that sometimes the best entertainment is simply stepping outside and looking up.
