Full wolf moon and a 22? halo are seen from L'Aquila, Italy, on January 24th, 2024. 22? halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a halo with an apparent radius of approximately 22? around the Sun or Moon. When visible around the Moon, it is also known as a moon ring, storm ring, or winter halo. It forms as sunlight or moonlight is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Its radius, as viewed from Earth, is roughly the length of an outstretched hand at arm's length.

Pushpa Kamal Dahal (center), the Prime Minister of Nepal, is posing for a photo covered in floral garlands after securing his third vote of confidence at the Federal Parliament of Nepal in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2024. The Prime Minister is testing the floor for the third time following the constitutional provision stated in the Constitution of Nepal 2072's Article 100 Sub-section (2), which mandates a Prime Minister to prove a majority in case any parties in the coalition walk out. In the third vote of confidence, which comes within 15 months of Dahal's tenure as Prime Minister, he has secured 157 votes in favor, while 110 lawmakers have stood against the vote of confidence. One lawmaker in the Nepali federal parliament has remained abstained. A total of 268 votes have been cast. Making a surprise turn on March 4, Prime Minister Dahal decided to revive a coalition with the CPN-UML, which caught the largest coalition partner, NC, off guard. A new coalition including the CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Center, Rastriya Swatantra Party, and Janata Samajwadi Party was initially formed. The following day, on March 5, the Nepali Congress formally retracted support to the Dahal government, activating Article 100 Sub-section (2).
