  1. Optical Phenomenon -- Light
    The only optical phenomenon more commonly witnessed in association with the Moon than the Sun is the corona, a bright whitish disk centered on the Moon or Sun. A corona is produced when water droplets in a thin layer of water-laden clouds, usually altostratus, scatter light from the illuminating body. The colors of the corona are the result of a process called diffraction, the slight bending of light as it passes near the edges of cloud droplets. From all sides of a cloud droplet, diffracted light will be directed into the "shadow" of the droplet. Here light rays will meet and interfere with each other. It is the interference (interaction of some light frequencies, or colors, which can cause them to be canceled) of the various components of white light that generates the colors that make the corona.
