#halos — Public Fediverse posts

Riding a wave of outrage in Anaheim!

Baseball fans are washing over social media with criticism after the LA Angels designated a $42M All-Star and World Series champion for assignment (DFA). Claiming "playing for the Angels is career suicide," fans online are demanding big changes as the Halos' turbulent season continues!

Heute gab es in der Mittagspause (und Stunden davor und danach) wieder Halos zu sehen. Eiskristalle in den Cirruswolken brechen das Sonnenlicht und verursachen die farbigen Ringe.

Zu sehen sind der kreisförmige 22°-Ring und der umbeschriebene Halo um den ersten herum.

Full-circle 22° halo, spotted the other day from the grocery store parking lot. Lamp posts are always good for blocking the sun without blocking too much of the sky around it.

Extraordinary Solar Halos

Explanation:
Welcome to the December Solstice, the first day of winter in planet Earth's northern hemisphere and summer in the south. To celebrate, consider this extraordinary display of beautiful solar ice halos! More common than rainbows, simple ice halos can be easy to spot, especially if you can shade your eyes from direct sunlight. Still it's extremely rare to see anything close to the complex of halos present in this astounding scene. Captured at lunchtime on a cold December 14 near Utendal, Sweden the image includes the relatively ordinary 22 degree halo, sundogs (parhelia) and sun pillars. The extensive array of rarer halos has been identified along with previously unknown features. All the patterns are generated as sunlight (or moonlight) is reflected and refracted in flat six-sided water ice crystals in Earth's atmosphere. In this case, likely local contributors to the atmospheric ice crystals are snow making machines operating at a nearby ski center.

Diamond Dust Sky Eye
* Image Credit & Copyright: Jaroslav Fous

Explanation:
Why is there a huge eye in the sky? Diamond dust. That is an informal term for small ice crystals that form in the air and flitter to the ground. Because these crystals are geometrically shaped, they can together reflect light from the Sun or Moon to your eyes in a systematic way, causing huge halos and unusual arcs to appear. And sometimes, together the result can seem like a giant eye looking right back at you. In the featured image taken in the Ore Mountains of the Czech Republic last week, a bright Moon rising through ice fog-filled air resulted in many of these magnificent sky illusions to be visible simultaneously. Besides Moon dogs, tangent arcs, halos, and a parselenic circle, light pillars above distant lights are visible on the far left, while Jupiter and Mars can be found just inside the bottom of the 22-degree halo.

#KnowledgeByte: A #SunDog is a concentrated patch of sunlight occasionally seen about 22° to the left or right of the Sun.

The sun dog is a member of the family of #Halos caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
