Ben Coffman took this picture of the 'moon dog' near Hug Point Falls on the Oregon coast.

Sometimes, a halo can be seen surrounding the moon when it's low in the horizon and the sky is clear. Additionally, one can occasionally glimpse a brilliant point that looks like a second moon inside that halo, especially during the winter months. This is an optical phenomenon known as a paraselene, also popularly called a moon dog or a mimic moon. When the actual moon is bright enough for its light to reflect off the ice crystals floating in the atmosphere, this 'false' moon may become visible.
