whenever my family is at the desert, if the moon is out, you can see 3 or 4 layers of rings around the moon. it is always great. and you can see so many stars so clearly.
I think typically, they're about the same size because it's based on the 22 degrees you get from an equilateral triangle which is what makes the the hexagonal ice crystals.
I think it's more of a brightness factor. Perhaps the fullness of the moon?

Dammit Ed, you beat me to it...(I'll still blog about it though).
That was the biggest one of those I've ever seen.

thanks
Here's an explanation.
They also happen around the sun.
does the explanation explain why last night's was so large? i'm too lazy to click on the link.
and i hate science.
