Stargazer_00 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Was just enjoying a little bank holiday weekend sun in my garden earlier reading my Kindle when I noticed that there was a circular pattern in the sky. upon closer viewing I reaised it was a halo in the atmosphere, not unlike a lunar halo I'd spotted late last year. I took a picture with my phone, using my fist to blot out the sun so the camera could get the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorne Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Looks like a Soviet propaganda picture from the cold war era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwhinfrey Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Nice photo, and Lorne's right about the Soviet look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer_00 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've seen both moon and sun halo now. I'd love to see that parhelion sun dog so much. Apparently they often come in pairs so toy are the sun and then two other suns near it either side. awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
