Awesome… Imagine Going Outside And Experiencing the Magic and Beauty Of This!
It is only under rare atmospheric conditions that you could experience what Pauli Hänninen and his family from Finland experienced on a foggy day in their village.
Sun Halos are produced when light hits ice crystals in cirrostratus clouds at the right angle.
The ice crystals act as mirrors and prisms refracting light in different directions creating this angelic effect.
The hexagon ice crystals have a symmetrical property: This means that no matter how they are oriented in the sky, they always refract light under an angle of roughly 22° creating this rare sight.
“It was cold and very foggy, the temperature was around -10 degrees Celsius,” according to Pauli Hänninen. “When the clouds began to break, there were rainbow colours in the sky and a halo spanning 360 degrees! It was worth taking a picture or two.”
