Italian Photographer Captures The Moon With Celestial Rainbow Ring Around It FI

Recently, a stunning photograph of the moon has gone viral all over social media. In the picture, the moon is surrounded by a multi-colored halo!

The rare phenomenon was captured by an Italian photographer, Alberto Ghizzi Panizza, near the city of Parma. Known as a luna corona, the spectacle occurs when light reflecting off the moon is split by water particles or ice crystals in the air.

Panizza revealed that he had witnessed the phenomenon several times before, but he had never previously been able to photograph it.

After being forced to stay home due to coronavirus lockdown, the photographer finally had access to everything he needed to capture the moment when he spotted the rainbow again from his home.

He spent two hours photographing the phenomenon.

“Between 10 pm and 12 am, I took a few hundred photos of the moon that created halos, iridescences, and crowns among clouds and veils.”

The photograph captured the moon’s craters with clarity as a large ring of color encapsulated it.
