I do remember my exitement when I saw it the first time as a kid. I couldn't believe it and feared there was something dangerous going on. Imagine the moon closing in for some unknown reason, maybe crashing into earth soon. I was totally frightened but the grown ups told me it's normal and there is nothing to fear.
A few years ago I was on a walk at night. There was a full moon in the sky and I realized it had a really huge halo around. At least 50 times of its own diameter. Other people saw me standing and started to look up. We were talking about this and no one remembered to have seen this before.
