Maybe this is not all that uncommon but I don't recall seeing this very often if ever.
Last night the moon was the bull's eye in a ring of clouds that circled it. The diameter of the ring was a good 24-30 times the width of the moon (radius was 12-15 times the diameter of the moon). The cloud ring was very well defined, about 2-3 moon widths and a perfect circle with the moon dead center. I can't say how long this lasted since I took out my dog at midnight and was anxious to go to bed so I was out there just 8-10 minutes but it never changed in that time. There was no wind.
What is this called and is it uncommon?
