A Sun Halo Over Cambodia

NASA APOD · Nagy Attila
COSMIC MESSAGE

A halo around the Sun is a common sight, caused by ice crystals in high, thin clouds. Each crystal acts like a tiny lens, bending sunlight 22 degrees to create the circular halo. This image shows a nearly complete 22-degree solar halo over Cambodia, with palm trees in the foreground.
