<em>image by:</em> someone who truly loves his wife and son!<br />

What do you think every time you see a cloudy sky? Not pleasant thoughts I guess. Another lost opportunity to admire the heavens or to shoot some marvelous Moon close ups with the 18″ Reflector (I wish I had one!). This beautiful <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.lpod.org/?p=826" rel="nofollow">Moon Corona</a> proves that even in a cloudy sky, our favorite celestial body can produce marvelous scenes. Since this image is not evaluated and selected by Chuck, allow me not to reveal my name. I don’t want to take credit for choosing myself for LPOD! I can only give you two or three clues for myself: I’m from Greece, I DON’T like garlic and I do love my wife and my son with all my heart! The image is dedicated to my son Panagiotis.<br />
 +
<br />
 +
And some info about coronas from the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_%28meteorology%29" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: A corona is produced by the diffraction of light from either the Sun or the Moon by individual small water droplets (and sometimes tiny ice crystals) of a cloud. The corona consists of small number of concentric colored rings around the celestial object and a central bright aureole. The angular size of the corona depends on the diameters of the cloud droplets - small droplets produce bright coronae. Coronae differ from <a class="wiki_link" href="/January+18%2C+2008">haloes</a> in that the latter are formed by refraction from comparatively large rather than small ice crystals.<br />

<img src="/file/view/MoonCoronaForPanagiotis.jpg/34892239/MoonCoronaForPanagiotis.jpg" alt="MoonCoronaForPanagiotis.jpg" title="MoonCoronaForPanagiotis.jpg" />

image by: someone who truly loves his wife and son!

What do you think every time you see a cloudy sky? Not pleasant thoughts I guess. Another lost opportunity to admire the heavens or to shoot some marvelous Moon close ups with the 18″ Reflector (I wish I had one!). This beautiful <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.lpod.org/?p=826" rel="nofollow">Moon Corona</a> proves that even in a cloudy sky, our favorite celestial body can produce marvelous scenes. Since this image is not evaluated and selected by Chuck, allow me not to reveal my name. I don’t want to take credit for choosing myself for LPOD! I can only give you two or three clues for myself: I’m from Greece, I DON’T like garlic and I do love my wife and my son with all my heart! The image is dedicated to my son Panagiotis.

And some info about coronas from the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_%28meteorology%29" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: A corona is produced by the diffraction of light from either the Sun or the Moon by individual small water droplets (and sometimes tiny ice crystals) of a cloud. The corona consists of small number of concentric colored rings around the celestial object and a central bright aureole. The angular size of the corona depends on the diameters of the cloud droplets - small droplets produce bright coronae. Coronae differ from <a class="wiki_link" href="/January+18%2C+2008">haloes</a> in that the latter are formed by refraction from comparatively large rather than small ice crystals.

Editor's note: Chuck Wood is on vacation. Today's LPOD has been contributed by a member of the-Moon Wiki. You can <a class="wiki_link" href="/How+to+Create+an+LPOD+Page">do the same</a> while we await Chuck's return.
