A PERFECT HALO AROUND THE SUN


 A PERFECT HALO AROUND THE SUN

This happened in Wyoming, by a mountain lake near Grand Teton National Park, right at sunset when the air turned crisp and the water went glass-still.

A thin, high layer of clouds moved in, and the sunlight passed through tiny ice crystals up there — bending the light into a clean 22° halo that circles the Sun. The lake below reflected the whole moment .

Where you can see this:

Rockies & High Plains (Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah)

Great Plains (Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas)

Upper Midwest winters (Minnesota, Wisconsin)
Best timing: sunrise or sunset with thin, milky high clouds drifting across a clear sky.
