Lunar Corona over Cochem Castle

NASA APOD · Babak Tafreshi
COSMIC MESSAGE

When moonlight passes through thin clouds containing water droplets, it creates a lunar corona, a colorful halo around the Moon. This photo captures such a corona over Cochem Castle in Germany. The clouds in silhouette against the bright corona create a dramatic effect, making the Moon appear to hover above the historic castle.
