Initial data
In 1976, in the summer, the employees went on a three-day excursion to Vardzia, a cave city on the border with Turkey. On the way back we stopped at the Abastuman Observatory. They looked through the open dome at the sky.
In the evening, approaching Gori, we saw cars and buses standing on the side of the road at the pass, all people got out of them and looked at the sky (to the north). And there's a huge moon hanging over the nearest mountain. It is framed by a crown, which also glows. We all got off the bus and watched this miracle together with everyone for 10 minutes.
It was 7-8 o'clock in the evening, it was light, and in the sky a bright planet is hanging overhead, as I see now. It was thought that at this time the Abastumai Observatory was observing this phenomenon, but, alas. not in print. there were no messages on TV.
Hypotheses
Halo
Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
