Surrounded by buildings, the moonlight forms a ring over Macedonias capital Skopje

Surrounded by buildings, the moonlight forms a ring over Macedonias capital Skopje, early morning on, 24 January, 2005.This sight occurs when high thin clouds containing millions of tiny ice crystals cover much of the sky. Each ice crystal acts like a miniature lens. Because most of the crystals have a similar elongated hexagonal shape, light entering one crystal face and exiting through the opposing face refracts 22 degrees, which corresponds to the radius of the Moons Halo. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE. REUTERS/Ognen Teofilovski OT/THI - RP5DRIGQPYa

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the enchanting cityscape of Skopje, Macedonia's capital, is beautifully illuminated by a celestial phenomenon. As night falls and the moonlight graces the sky, an ethereal ring forms over the city, creating a truly mesmerizing sight. The magical occurrence takes place when high thin clouds laden with countless tiny ice crystals blanket the heavens above. These minute ice crystals act as miniature lenses that refract light in a unique way. With their elongated hexagonal shape being similar across most crystals, light enters through one face and exits through its opposing counterpart at a precise angle of 22 degrees. This specific refraction creates an awe-inspiring halo around the radiant moon in Skopje's early morning hours on January 24th, 2005. The result is a stunning spectacle where buildings seem to fade into insignificance against nature's grandeur. Photographer Ognen Teofilovski skillfully captures this breathtaking moment for eternity in his remarkable image. The contrast between man-made structures and celestial beauty serves as a reminder of our humble existence within the vastness of the universe. No rights clearances or permissions are required to appreciate this extraordinary photograph that encapsulates both artistry and scientific wonderment simultaneously. Let your imagination wander as you immerse yourself in this visual symphony brought to life by Teofilovski's lens.
