The ring is caused by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. The moon's light is refracted off them causing the halo effect. Old wives tales say that the ring predicts bad weather such as rain or snow. You can tell how far away the bad weather is by the number of stars inside the ring. Each star is said to represent 24 hours. So....1 star would mean foul weather will come withing 24 hours.You can see a ring around the moon in Southern Illinois tonight(Dec. 1, 2009) but it is too foggy to see if there are any stars inside it.

The star next to the serial number on a US $100 bill (or any US bill, for that matter) means that it is a replacement bill. In the dollar bill production process, 32 bills are printed on a single sheet (4 bills by 8 bills). The sheets are stacked 100 high and then cut, resulting in 32 stacks of 100 bills each (with the last two digits in order from "00" through "99"). Each sheet is inspected, however, before being added to the stack to be cut - should an error be found, the sheet is destroyed and a sheet of "star bills" is inserted in its place (so as not to foul up the count).
