I actually know what this is. I'm about to ruin the mystery, and it might disappoint you, so if you don't want to know what it is, don't read..

It's actually caused by a type of cloud high in the atmosphere called cirrostratus. This cloud is a very thin cloud, made mostly of ice. The reasons it creates these halos is because the light from the moon, or the sun, is scattered and reflected by the ice particles.

Therefore, you see a very large ring around the moon.
