The Full Moon and its aura?
920214
It's called a lunar halo.  It is caused by refraction of light by water droplets in the atmosphere, in much the same way that a rainbow is caused, and there is a solar halo, as well, at times.  if you see it again, place your closed fist at arm's length at one side of the halo and see how many fists it takes to get across to the other side.  It should be two, plus about two fingers worth, 22.5 degrees diameter (same for the solar halo).  At times the solar halo is broken into two very bright spots 11 degrees or so either side of the sun:  these are popularly called "sun dogs".  If thin ice crystal clouds are the cause there is usually no coloration associated with the halo.

Here is a very simple and precise explanation with good illustrations\nhttp://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moonorange/

1)\nThis effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red.\nThe moon can have an orange color at any time of the year. Sometimes the moon appears orange even when it's directly overhead. This occurs when there's a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the atmosphere. The size of those particles will determine the type of color you will see. \n\n2)\nStep outside and you'll see a giant moon rising in the east. It looks like Earth's moon, round and cratered; the Man in the Moon is in his usual place. But something's wrong. This full moon is strangely inflated. It's huge!\nYou've just experienced the Moon Illusion.\nSky watchers have known this for thousands of years: moons hanging low in the sky look unnaturally big. Cameras don't see it, but our eyes do. It's a real illusion. When you look at the moon, rays of moonlight converge and form an image about 0.15 mm wide in the back of your eye. High moons and low moons make the same sized spot. So why does your brain think one is bigger than the other? After all these years, scientists still aren't sure why. A similar illusion was discovered in 1913 by Mario Ponzo.

A full moon is the exact time that the center of the Moon crosses the plane defined by the Earth's axis of rotation and the center of the Sun in the direction away from the Sun.\n\nA new moon is the exact time that the center of the Moon crosses the plane defined by the Earth's axis of rotation and the center of the Sun in the direction toward the Sun.

The full moon is visible as full anywhere\non earth where it is above the horizon...\nobviously if it is far in the southern\nhemisphere and you are far north, like\nin northern Finland, you may not see the\nfull moon at all... (but if you could it\nwould still appear full)

Oh no, you've figured out my hoax!!! You busted me, you're right, its not round. Sorry, I get silly sometimes. If you are at a position when the moon passes directly perpendicular to you relative to the sun's position then you will see a perfect half lit moon. you can simulate this with a big right triangle by taking a golf ball or some other ball and placing it at the  90 degree corner and placing a flashlight at one of the other corners pointing directly at the ball. Now line up your sight from the third corner and you should see a perfect half lit ball. :)

two big full moons (if youre not black)

no it is a reflection of the suns light.  That is why you can still see the moon during the day soemtimes.  It is still getting light from the sun.

No That's just a state of mind. There is no way that the phase of the moon will affect how happy I am today. If you constantly believe and think that, you may automatically find yourself wanting to be happy/sad/angry when a full moon rolls around.

The moon is gorgeous. I love the moon. It is so mystical and romantic.

Depends on atmospheric conditions ,small water droplets form into ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The moon reflects light into these droplets causing refraction of that light, givind a halo effect sometimes even a 'luna rainbow'

the moon is always there, but it is probably a new moon, a phase of the moon where the sun doesn't shine light on it at the popsition that we can see it. The other stages include combinations of waning, waxing & gibbious and cresent

A full moon is the phase when the entire circular shape of the moon is visible.\n\nA new moon is the phase when no part of the moon is visible due to the position of the earth.  It happens to block the light from the sun so the moon is not able to be seen.\n\nsilly fact- the term "blue moon" like "once in a blue moon" refers to the unusual event of having two new moons in a calendar month.

Obviously the moon has to be between the Sun and the\nEarth, so maybe they want you to say, "when the Moon is new".\nNote that this is the *opposite* of a full moon.

no it's not cos of the earth's shadow on the moon. its cos of the position of the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the moon. the moon moves around the earth. if it moves further from the sun, less light will be reflected and you see a half-moon or quarter-moon.\n\nas u know, the light hte moon 'projects' is actually the reflection of light. the moon isnt a source of light. \n\nwhen the sun is directly behind the moon, and it shines on the 'back' of the moon, this causes an eclipse cos ppl on earth can only see a dark circle (the moon - as it does not reflect light in this case) and a whitish circle around the moon (the sun's rays)\n\nhope this helps!! :D

i would generally say no its not, as the atmosphere is only between 5 adn 10 miles high, the moon is considerably further away than this.\n\ncant explainy why its like this has something to do with the creation of the solar system the mood being far away and such.

Right now, the moon is not visible from Ireland. It set in the West shortly after sunset. It would be a thin crescent if we were able to see it.\n\nIn addition it's pretty cloudy here in Ireland tonight, so it's a double strikeout I'm afraid!
