Re: the moon tonight
Thought you used to get ring around on very clear cold nights in England? Is it not because sky is clearer and moon is therefore brighter so the ring is the light bouncing off around moon making ring???
Can't prove this theory here as it is not very very cold here ever ever ever. Will have to wait for trip back to UK....
