The full moon of Wednesday (Oct. 21), known by many as the " Hunter's Moon ," provided a celestial treat for skywatchers around the world.
Full moons occur when the orbit of the moon, relative to the Earth, swings around into a position where full sunlight falls upon the planet-facing side.

Throughout history, different cultures have celebrated full moons because they were a way to signal changes in seasons, since the moon's orbit around the Earth is a fairly consistent way to measure time passing without the use of calendars.
The etymology behind the word “lunatic,” a synonym for mentally ill, comes from the Latin root of luna, which means the moon. People as far back as 400 B.C. were noticing that peoples’ mental states were affected by the lunar cycle.

A halo around the moon or sun forms when light is refracted by ice crystals associated with thin, high clouds. Cirrus or cirrostratus clouds, like the clouds around Central Florida this week, are made up of ice crystals.
