Lunar Halo

So, the moon tonight is not only full & looking amazing, but she also has a lovely halo around her. Also called an Icebow and if you look closely, the inner part of the halo is a red colour - like a faded rainbow.

It is an optical effect formed due to refracted light by the ice crystals in the atmosphere.
