GeneralPhenomenon what I see for the first time Pin

a.) At my place of residence (Switzerland) it is about 21:00.
b.) It is a more or less cloudless sky.
c.) The moon is clearly visible and ...
d.) ... around the moon a very uniform dark circle area (with a much much larger diameter than the visible moon) can be seen.

What is this phenomenon? Is this the halo?

Btw: You can see stars within this "dark" circle area, but also the stars in the sky outside it.

And yes, sorry: I'm not able to take a pic with my cheap handy Frown | :(

Maybe @sahibgora can give me a hint?

[Edit]
Still the same view after more than one hour (equal to more or less 6 cigarettes Frown | :( )
And sorry for this naive question above. I'm now about 55 years old but never saw this in the past Big Grin | :-D

Meanwhile it is in the papers/tv... it was halo... Hello helo Poke tongue | ;-P

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
