Hello there everyone. I was just outside having a smoke and I looked up at the moon, and for some reason it looks to have a cross or a plus around it. Two rays casting off left and right, and two rays casting off up and down. I chalked this up to the screen I was standing behind and shook it, but they did not move. I stepped off the porch and it was still there. I called my sister out to look at it and she too could see the cross on the moon. Now... maybe it’s just an atmospheric anomaly. I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing tonight. God bless you all!

I just took a look, I kind of see it.... it looks like some occlusion from the low temperature but humid air, kind of making a halo. It's probably more of a cross shape since it's a waxing gibbous moon.
It's not a full shape but fuller then half, approaching the full round shape. Since it's in that state and the mist in the air is occluding the light, you're seeing the halo come out more like a cross.
