And in addition to the eclipse, I'm going to claim perhaps the tiniest green flash ever, as the upper limb of the Sun finally slipped below the horizon.

As also seen from the Teltschikturm high in the Odenwald.

After all that excitement, I wonder if I can also stay up late enough to catch some Perseid meteors as well 🙂🤷‍♂️

Things the Sun did today:

* 22º solar halo
* nice clouds
* crepuscular rays

Nice :)

A slightly more conventional shot of the upper arc of the halo around the Sun a few minutes earlier, also with some interesting clouds, a tiny hint of iridescence, & a couple of contrails, one casting its shadow on the thin cirrus below.

"There's ice in them thar skies ... "

Well, the 22º halo around the Sun is due to small ice crystals at high altitude, but the iridescence in the clouds could be due to ice or small water droplets.

Either way, an interesting mix of atmospheric phenomena on a sultry July afternoon, if a little tricky to capture the right dynamic range & colour balance with just a phone camera 🤷‍♂️

there was a beautiful 22° halo around the sun this morning! Below is about 10 minutes of it at 16x speed. 22° halos are caused by ice crystals way up in the atmosphere refracting the sunlight. #AtmosphericOptics

A reminder to look up from the garden insects occasionally ☝️

Not a common sight, but always a welcome one – a circumzenithal arc appeared above the Sun this evening, with a bonus parhelion to boot.

Among the most saturated atmospheric phenomena colour-wise, they're often missed because they're so high in the sky. I once saw one reflected in a car windscreen, before looking upwards.

Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at @mpi_grav about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!

Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_iridescence) here, north of Hanover, Germany.

Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.

There is currently a halo (22° halo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo) around the moon.

The ring is created by moonlight refracted by hexagonal, non-oriented ice crystals. These ice prisms are found in high-altitude clouds (cirrus clouds). This type of halo is quite common. Its radius is 22°, which is about 44 full moon diameters.
