Stargazer Professor Greg Parker captured a rare 'lunar halo'
New Forest - Arabstoday

Stargazer Professor Greg Parker captured a rare 'lunar halo' Professor Greg Parker, 57, captured a stunning image of a 'lunar halo' from the £10,000 observatory he built in his garden in the New Forest on Monday. Professor Parker said that he has been stargazing since he was a child, and has only seen one halo before, and it was nothing like this.
The effect is caused  by light refracting off millions of ice crystals in the air.
The amateur astronomer is a professor of electronics at Southampton University and built the £10,000 pounds observatory at his home in Brockenhurst, Hants.
He said: ‘It was a clear night and I just happened to look up and see the incredible ring around the moon.
‘I ran to get my camera and took some snaps.
‘I've been stargazing since I was child and I've only ever seen one lunar halo before and it was not as extraordinary as this.’
