“Halo and Hexagons” is copyrighted by Gil Esquerdo (Whipple Observatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteGil Esquerdo photographed this Moon halo at the Whipple Observatory on Mt. Hopkins, Arizona. The halo formed from ice crystals in thin high clouds, which are hexagonal in shape. The observatory's 10-meter gamma-ray telescope, seen in the foreground, blocked the direct moonlight, making the halo more prominent.
