During the pre-dawn hours of May
27, 2005,
a magnificent halo formed around
the waning gibbous moon in the
sky over Southern California's
Anza-Borrego Desert. In
addition to the halo, a rather
unusual pair of tangential arcs
appeared at the top and bottom
of the halo. The "teapot"
of Sagittarius appears just
within the the right side of the
halo. |
