Ice Halos, and Sun Dogs in Alabama sky

Just an interesting visual anomaly.


Yesterday, sky watchers around the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, witnessed something amazing: A complex network of luminous arcs and rings surrounded the afternoon sun.Source: http://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=31&month=10&year=2012

It's a Chem-bow with a few extra bling!

Note the thin layers of cloudy film in the sky---that's not natural.

It's good to be moved (and see) the beauty surrounding us.
Not everyone would have thought to post and share this (good eye, ha!).
So thanks Dennis.
