20200922- Sun Halo Rainbow Sighting!

22/9/20 Sun Halo Capture by Mui - along Commonwealth Road (Queenstown) @ 11:35am
 

Awesome! 

What an exciting noon! XR texted and I decided to look up to the sky!

Lo and Behold! What a awesome sight!

Rolled down the car windows to capture some of these shots!




Arrived at Redhill Hawker Centre! Continue to GAWK and AWE!








Rainbow around!

and this is me with the "Halo" above! Ha ha ha1



Here below from Gardens by the bay!
Great capture!



Here below a full one from Bukit Batok - a friend's capture!


By the time we finished our lunch at Redhill about 12:30pm, the halo was gone....

It was in the news this evening! This sun halo sighting!

How it is formed?
Circular halo (or also known as 22 degrees halo) - it forms as direct sunlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Usually through thin, high altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.  As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a circular halo around the Sun.

Yes, it lasted about 40min.

Apparently, such halos do appear in our skies far more than rainbows!
But for me, this was my first sighting a sun Halo here in little red dot!

Hello Hello? What a Halo!
Thot I was a SAINT for some moments today! 
Like Real!
ha ha Ha!
What a Joy!
thank You Lord for this awesome sighting!
Our hearts leapt for joy!

Today is 22nd Sep 2020 & we had a 22 degree Halo!
