Analogous to a sundog or parhelion, the paraselene is produced by moonlight shining through thin, hexagonal-shaped ice crystals in high cirrus clouds.

类似环成一，在高空卷云中，月光通过稀薄、具有六边状冰晶产生了幻月。

During this alignment, each crystal can act like a miniature lens, refracting sunlight into our view and creating phenomena like parhelia, the technical term for sundogs.

在这个平面内，每一个冰晶就像一个小透镜一，阳光折射入我们视野，造成幻现象，其术语就是幻。
