TL;DR Summary

A recent SpaceX rocket launch created a stunning halo of light around the full moon after punching a hole in a cloud full of ice crystals. The photographer captured the rare ring of light, which was caused by light reflecting off the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds. These visual phenomena are becoming more common as SpaceX launches increase, raising concerns for astronomers and radio astronomers. Additionally, Starlink satellites have been found to leak radio waves and pose risks of falling back to Earth during solar storms.
