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!

Does the cross rotate if you rotate your head side to side?
No it did not rotate as I moved my head around, but I noticed a few hours later that the rays moved to a 15 or 20 degree angle as the moon got higher in the sky. I figured it was similar to sunrise, where the light has to cross a denser atmosphere causing light to behave differently. By midnight it was completely gone. I’m in the south too so I don’t think ice crystals was the cause.
