Ring around the Moon ~ The rings are caused by moonlight refracting off of ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Folklore says that a ring around the moon means that there's a storm coming.

The moon is also associated with intuition, emotion, and madness. In some cultures, the full moon is believed to be a time when spirits are most active, and it is often seen as a time of transition or transformation. For many women, the moon is a spiritual force that embodies all that is feminine and mystical.

Observers around the UK snapped images of a 'moon ring' on Monday night (picture shown). The amazing phenomenon occurs when light from the moon reflects off ice crystals in the atmosphere.

The image of the Moon surrounded by clouds was taken by photographer Francisco Sojuel after a six mile hike to the base camp of volcano Acetenango in Guatemala.

A large ring or circle of light around the sun or moon is called a 22-degree halo by scientists.
