Identify this Phenomenon
This ring of colors in Massachusetts puzzled even MIT Physics Professor Walter Lewin. He photographed it on June 20 in a construction area. The phenomenon presented a challenge to explain its color sequence and the bright area in the center.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
