I'm not sure exactly what atmospheric conditions are responsible for the illusion of a ring around the moon, but it sure looks impressive when it happens. I think a thin layer of mist is needed, and the moonlight has to hit it just right, but then again analysing things sometimes takes away their power, so I'll stop. I wonder what omens this type of event gave rise to in ancient times.

Tomorrow is BioSITE, which means not enough sleep. At least they caught the arsonists who lit the school on fire, and all of the kids are back on their own campus. Goodnight.

cds I listened to while staring at the moon: Hans Zimmer & Klaus Badelt "Invincible" soundtrack (Herzog's latest), David Maranha "Noe's Lullaby", Calla "Televise", and Empress "1996 - 1999"
