The light around the moon is called the corona. It is the outermost portion of the sun's atmosphere. The corona is always present, but except during an eclipse it is hidden by the glare from the rest of the sun.

What is a preumbra?
The sun shines light on both the moon and the Earth. When it shines light on one side of either one, they cast a shadow in space. During an eclipse, the shadow of either the moon or the earth gets cast on the other one. For example, during a solar eclipse the sun, moon, and earth have to be aligned Sun - Moon- Earth. The sun shines light on the moon and the moon's shadow gets cast on the Earth. The middle of the shadow where an observer can't see any light is the umbra.
