A day after the super, blue, blood-red moon, moon dogs were visible Thursday morning in southeastern Manitoba followed closly by sun dogs.

According to Wikipedia, a moon dog is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight by hexagonal-plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. They are exactly analogous to sun dogs, but are rarer because the Moon must be bright, about quarter moon or more, for the moon dogs to be observed. Sun dogs, though more common, are still a beautiful cold weather spectacle.
