New to Imgur... (well I've been creeping for a long time, but I finally decided to participate) So this is my first post :)
A couple years ago, I was walking around in Curacao when my friend and I noticed that everyone was staring up at the sky, pointing and acting strange. We looked up to find this unique rainbow halo around the sun. My cell phone's camera honestly didn't do it's vividness justice. We asked the locals if this was common, but no one had ever seen it before.
At first we thought the world might be ending... but thanks to Google, it turns out it's just a mix of chemistry, physics and geometry.
Halos around the sun or moon happen when high, thin cirrus clouds are drifting high above your head. Tiny ice crystals in Earth’s atmosphere cause the halos. They do this by refracting and reflecting the light. Lunar halos are signs that storms are nearby.

All the rainbows are circular... Usually, you only see a little part of it.

It's just light traveling through ice crystals in the high upper atmosphere. Happens with the moon sometimes 2.

Interestingly if you ever see a halo such as this around the moon at night the farmer's wisdom is that it will snow the next day.

Yep. We don't have many sun dogs here in MN, but we get moon dogs all winter long.
