As moonlight passes through the ice crystals, it is bent in a way similar to light passing through a lens. The shape of the ice crystals causes the moonlight to be focused into a ring. This is similar to the way water droplets in the lower atmosphere can bend sunlight to create a rainbow."<a href="http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/172-What-causes-a-ring-around-the-Moon-" target="_blank">http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/172-What-causes-a-ring-around-the-Moon-</a></blockquote>
