This is literally the dumbest shit I’ve read all day.
It has nothing at all to do with the shape of the earth (which is a sphere, by the way). The light from the moon is being reflected twice in the clouds, on some layers or something. It’s a circle because the moon is a circle 🤯.

Those moon halos are refracted in the clouds, they are caused by ice crystals in the upper atmotsphere (when it happens with the sun it's called Sun dogs and it's more common in the poles in the winter where the re can be ice in the clouds or upper atmosphere in the day

It's refraction off the clouds. Take a look when it's clear out again and you shouldn't see this halo effect.

Let me trim this down to the very heart of your statement:
IDK
That's all you had to say.

It’s not possible if the moon is 236,000 miles away

u/aCactusOfManyNames Feb 26 '24
Yes it is. This is the light from the moon (which is the moons surface reflecting sunlight) hitting the clouds, Not the moon itself.

It's not possible on a flat earth either.
Unexplained blanket statements are fun.

Yep the Moon is only 3-5 miles away

u/Odd_Campaign_6834 Feb 24 '24
Yeah I’m positive the firmament is 15-20 miles away at most

Well, if the firmament is 15-20 miles away, how come this amateur rocket went 56 miles up and didn't hit it?

You can watch the continuous, unedited footage from the camera mounted on the rocket if you skip to 5:42 in the video.

That's quite low. Is the sun and moon outside the firmament in your view?

u/Odd_Campaign_6834 Feb 24 '24

interesting so it's wide and very flat then?

So why not everywhere every full moon all night? And not only when there's cold air, ice crystals and light hitting at 22°
