A breathtaking photograph captures a rare celestial event: a 22-degree halo encircling a blue moon, the second full moon in a calendar month. The scene is set against the backdrop of Zhongshan Station in Antarctica, with falling snow illuminating like stars in the foreground, and a power generating house and snowmobile visible in the lower portion of the frame.
