Details:
I looked out the window tonight and saw a reflection of a lunar halo in my car windshield. I stepped outside expecting to see a typical 22 degree lunar halo and had a wow moment as the halo was not round at all. It was the most elliptical shaped circumscribed halo I have ever seen. The upper and lower tangent arcs have joined together. The Pleiades star cluster is visible near the moon at 4 o’clock with the Hyades appearing to the left of the moon.
