Look! Up in the sky! A Rare Photo of an Amazing Ice Halo Display!!
Mind you, this picture is real.

[link to farm9.staticflickr.com]

David Hathaway – appropriately enough, a solar physicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama – took it using a wide-angle lens to get the whole thing. It’s a High Dynamic Range shot, meaning he combined pictures with 3 different exposure times to see both faint and bright things simultaneously. He took the shot on October 30, 2012.

Everything you’re seeing here is pretty well understood: they all have a name and a specific set of circumstances under which you can see them.

The Sun is the bright blob near the horizon. It’s circled by the 22° halo, a fairly common optical effect in the winter; I see dozens every season. On either side of the Sun are parhelia, nicknamed sundogs. Those are the teardrop-shaped rainbows. Sometimes, as seen here, these stretch out into long streamers called parhelic circles. They are parallel to the horizon but in this wide-angle shot the shape is distorted, bending them up.

Directly above the Sun, dipping down to touch the halo (the math term for this is osculating, which means kissing) is a gull-wing curve called the tangent arc. Above it, connecting the "wings", is the Parry arc.

Above the tangent and Parry arcs is a faint rainbow (well, it’s not caused by raindrops, but it’s broken up into colors and has the familiar rainbow-shape) called the Parry supralateral.


There are two more to go and you can read the rest here:

This amazing phenomena is caused by ice crystals in the air!

I saw someting similar a couple of days ago on the way home. It wasn't nearly as complex, but it was huge. It was an arc on either side of the sun in the high thin clouds around 5:30pm central time in Middle Tennessee. I've never seen anything like it before.

 Quoting: Resister


Spaceweather says that the extremely rare apparition was “almost certainly connected to Hurricane Sandy”

"Very impressive," agreed onlooker Kyle Winkleman. "This was a once-in-a-decade event for our area."

Atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley comments on the Sandy-ice halo link: "Over the last few days there have been spectacular halo displays around the edge of Sandy from New England to Alabama. Hathaway's image like many others shows several very rare halo arcs, an upper Lowitz, helic and Parry supralateral."

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.

Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?

Is not wisdom found among the aged?
Does not long life bring understanding?

“God is exalted in his power.
Who is a teacher like him?

How great is God—beyond our understanding!
The number of his years is past finding out.

“He draws up the drops of water,
which distill as rain to the streams;

the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers fall on mankind.

Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders from his pavilion?

See how he scatters his lightning about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.

This is the way he governs the nations
and provides food in abundance.

He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.

His thunder announces the coming storm;
even the cattle make known its approach.

There are other beautiful Ice Halo photos, but what makes this one a rarity is the combination of sun dogs, halos, arcs and a parahelic circle that it displays all in that awesome moment.

Re: Look! Up in the sky! A Rare Photo of an Amazing Ice Halo Display!!
Fascinating!

The following article says many people saw a lunar halo the night before Hurricane Sandy made landfall. Then, the night of the landfall, many in the U.S. Midwest and West witnessed the same.

What causes a lunar halo?

There’s an old weather saying: ring around the moon means rain soon. There’s truth to this saying, because high cirrus clouds often come before a storm.

These clouds contain millions of tiny ice crystals. The halos you see are caused by both refraction, or splitting of light, and also by reflection, or glints of light from these ice crystals. The crystals have to be oriented and positioned just so with respect to your eye, in order for the halo to appear.

That’s why, like rainbows, halos around the sun – or moon – are personal. Everyone sees their own particular halo, made by their own particular ice crystals, which are different from the ice crystals making the halo of the person standing next to you.

Its been on spaceweather.com for a couple days or more already. It is from the chemtrails I think that the aluminum in them is reflecting? There is no way Sandy is involved in this, that is what they say on space weather. I don't think so, this was quite a bit after Sandy HIT. I think its chemtrails and it's amazing how they continue to HIDE this, in the united states. There is chemtrail stuff all over in the pic.
