One night I saw a halo around the moon. Only lasted for about a half-hour.
I tried to take a photo but it didnt come out.
Anyone ever see anything like this?

Yes, I've seen them quite a few times on moonlight jaunts, check them out here http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moonring/

They're known as moonbows, funnily enough. They're caused by moisture in the air or very thin cloud.
