Hello,there,Halos


The Halos are here.

This is a phenomenon where you see optical manifestations in the form of light rings around the sun,moon and street lamps.

They can be produced by ice-crystals on cirrus clouds at altitudes of 5-10 kilometers in the upper troposphere. The exact formation depends on the shape and direction of the ice crystals and the sunlight's refraction and refection on the surface of the ice.

Remember to view them under a filter or it may damage your eyes!
