A rare "moon halo" was spotted in the night sky across north-east England and North Yorkshire on Boxing Day.
The ring around the moon was seen on Tuesday evening after a similar halo was visible in other parts of the country last month.
Lunar halos are caused by the refraction of moonlight through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere
The phenomenon was seen by residents in North Tyneside, Northumberland, North Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire.
In the past, the phenomenon was used as a form of weather forecasting as when the ice crystals travel lower, rain becomes more likely.
In the summer months, the halo can be a sign of approaching storms.
A similar effect can also form around the sun.
