He had seen this mesmerizing event suddenly when he looked up at the sky in the earlymorning before sunrise. He had seen the moon as if it was dressed as Saturn.

Both Guatemalan highlands and the silhouette of Pacaya volcano is shown in the lowerpart of the image. As per to what Sojuel said, the cloud seems to be acirrostratus cloud made of ice crystals.

He had seen halos around the moon when seen from different angles. The texture of thesurrounding cloud has been a bit thick and fluffy. Perhaps, it is acirrostratus fibratus or a cirrus spissatus cloud. Both these clouds are quitedenser than the other ones and are often made by strong winds.

Sojuel is a well-known character in the field of photography. He has gathered fame forastrophotography and amazing landscape photography. Scroll down to check outsome other wonderful shots of him.
