Image of the optical effect known as corona
Image of the optical atmospheric effect known as a corona around the lunar disc. It consists of one or more rings located symmetrically around the Moon and is caused by the diffraction of light passing through water droplets. The rings usually extend for a few lunar radii and the width of each ring is inversely related to the diameter of the water droplets causing it. The same phenomenon may be seen around the solar disc

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing optical phenomenon known as a corona, beautifully encircling the lunar disc. The corona appears as one or more symmetrical rings surrounding the Moon and is formed by the diffraction of light passing through water droplets in our atmosphere. As if painted with ethereal strokes, these rings extend for several lunar radii, creating an enchanting spectacle against the night sky. The width of each ring in this celestial masterpiece is inversely related to the size of the water droplets responsible for its creation. This intricate relationship between diameter and width adds another layer of complexity to this already fascinating display. Similar to its appearance around our moon, a corona can also be observed encircling our sun. However, it's important not to confuse this natural atmospheric effect with any commercial entity bearing a similar name. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how intricately connected nature's elements are. From climate patterns and weather conditions to meteorological phenomena like coronas, there is an undeniable beauty that lies within understanding these optical effects occurring right above us in Earth's atmosphere.
