Lunar Corona
On Friday night Matt and I went to a footy game just to watch the Magpies lose... again. We still had a great time though. Aussie Rules fans are very passionate and all of the language flying around is very colorful. When we were leaving I noticed a rainbow around the moon. Once again, this was something I had never seen before. Matt was dragging me along, holding my hand, telling me to stop looking up and get out of the street so I wouldn't get hit by a car. It was way too cool to stop looking at. They are called Luna Coronas and are formed by the light of the moon hitting ice crystals in the clouds. It was beautiful.
