An atmospheric optical phenomenon called a “halo” appeared today.
A halo is a ring of light that appears around the sun when it is covered by a thin cloud.
It is caused by the refraction of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Halos are often seen when poor weather is on the way. Although it was pretty close to perfectly clear this morning, the sky gradually became cloudier through the day.
