If my memory serves me right, a halo forms when the moon (or sun) shines through a layer of cirrostratus clouds. Last night, the appearance of the halo with the Jupiter in it thrilled me. Here's the photo.

Christmas Eve Halo
If anyone looked at the sky on Christmas Eve, they would have seen a beautiful gibbous moon and the shining Jupiter nearby. Here in General Santos City, the sky was veiled by some cloud cover. I did, however, get lucky when I got the chance to photograph the halo. This was when everyone was helping themselves to the Christmas buffet.
