Enormous moon halo above Adelaide

19.50 hrs

If you live in Adelaide, pop outside and see a truly enormous halo around the moon.

Cheers
Stephen

That looks amazing. We're about 45km from Adelaide as the crow flies. Nice and dark. The halo ring is really clear and sharp. That's Saturn to the lower right & Spica to the left within the ring, yeah?
