#icehalo #astrum #sundog
In this video, we'll explore what causes the mysterious anti-rainbows that can be seen occasionally in the sky.
We'll be looking at the circumzenithal arc, the sundog, and the parhelion, and learn what causes each one. We'll also see how to photograph and capture these beautiful phenomena in the sky!
Growing up and living at a tropical country, I remember seeing more of these Moon Halos at night which appears as not just rainbow bands around the moon, they almost look like a "planet" behind the moon. Which is quite scary tbh. And true enough, there's a storm within the next 24-36 hours always!
00.
That's crazy!
@@aqua1476 I read that in Christopher Walkens voice 😀
Here in California, I'd see a ring around the moon and knew rain was almost always on the way, 48-72 hours later.
My grandma always says if you see a ring around the moon in winter it means snow is coming, if In the spring/summer it means rain/storms
I’ve seen rings around both the sun and the moon. Not quite as bright as some at the beginning of this, but they’re amazing. I look up and see a part of the arc in my periphery, then literally move my head around to see the entire halo. Even having seen them before, I still get surprised by how huge they can be, leading to a startled scream that puts my friends on edge until I point up and show them the halo.
Quit screaming.
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis and start running 💀
Extremely common in Canada in the winter. We used to joke that Sun Dogs meant that the weather was going to get colder, or warmer, or remain the same. Definitely one of those three.
Over in new England we get halos somewhat regularly. (Like 2-4 times a year roughly) it never ceases to amaze me as it is just beautiful to see.
In my place we see from 50-100 halos per year lol
And I live near los angeles
South
I have been fascinated by meteorological phenomena since I was young. So I have always looked at the sky a lot.
Generally I can say, ice halos are a lot more common than rainbows, especially the sundogs and partial 22 degree halos.
But seeing very bright ones or seeing the more special types is rare. Seeing so many kinds together like seen in the video is even rarer. At least in my country (Netherlands).
You can clearly see that most of those very complex halos recorded by people in the middle of actual snowing crestals (no big flakes but really that small whell formed crystals at very low temperatures) is clearly more limited to being in polar regions or high in the mountains.
When I was in elementary school we had an astronomer/atmospheric scientist come in and teach us about cool optical phenomenon. Ever since then I love to point out sundogs to people because a lot of them haven't heard of them. I once saw a particularly bright and vibrant sundog with a streak of parhelic circle going out from it. Super beautiful, but it didn't last long. It only existed due to a small, perfectly placed cirrus cloud that soon moved. I'm glad I happened to be outside at just the right time to see it.
I'm glad to see someone finally talk about the wonderful topic of atmospheric optics! I've been pretty fascinated by these for a while and it's cool to see them get discussed. A good display can be super exciting, and I always get hyped when I manage to capture one of the rarities!
hi sd
I saw it around the moon just few days ago. A massive full ring. Looked spectacular.
One of the few percs of living in northern Sweden is that you get to see these quite often. I see moon halos more often, but I guess that could be because of the fact that it's dark almost all day here in the winter. Right now we get about 3-4 hours of light every day, the rest is all night. Another thing I see quite often here in the winter is nacreous cloud iridescense. That's probably even more so spectacular, as the whole cloud filled sky gets filled with vivid colours!
I was tripping on mushrooms one night sitting by the fire, and I looked up and it was cloudy except for a big circle around the full moon. I couldn’t really believe it, it looked unreal so I did some research on the spot and found out about this phenomenon! Great video
In June the sunset was quite vibrantly red and gold while I was waiting for the bus and a few strangers. Something told me this would be a great time for a rainbow, so I looked opposite to the sunset, and there it was. A spectacular RED bow taking a good chunk of the eastern sky. No other colour than RED but quite sharp on the edges. I spoke up to the strangers and they all stood in awe about it as I shared how this is quite a rare sight to see.
When I grew up and became interested in Astronomy these halos were a wonder to me as I read about them in my Encyclopedias. I learned to read young thanks to my grandmother and I went on adventures in books, but being young not comprehending finer details or the big picture I missed things. Yet because I was always looking for things in the sky not knowing for 98% of the time it was a waste of time in a very smoggy 1950-60s Los Angeles, California. Yet one winter afternoon, just after a disappointing* Christmas I saw off to the West a beautiful rainbow about 3/4s around the Sun with a circle coming from the full Moon on top of it where the rainbow ended. Imagine a rainbow around the Sun with a circle from the Moon dropping down all spread out through a foggy marine layer.
I yelled and yelled for everyone to come see it, You HAVE to See this!!!
Well the house was full of relatives, so you can imagine the reaction of my uncle, parents and grandparents as they came running, some were rather perturbed (mildly put) that I scared them for the Sun, but they all stopped and stared at the most beautiful thing they ever expected to see on an early smoggy 1960s LA evening.
*I wanted a telescope more than anything, but no scope was under the tree that year.
Love the passion and excitement that you have talking about these topics Alex. Thank you for the informative and enthralling content.
I know right?! It's so captivating!
I saw this phenomenon once in some extreme cold weather I think in South Dakota. I took pictures and called it an ice rainbow. Now I learned the real name for it. Thank you Alex
If only you discovered it first you could of named it
I’ve always heard of these being referred to as iridescent clouds. This makes much more sense now. Thanks for the fantastic explanation.
We have moon halos all the time here in north Europe, can even see the rainbow colors. Only had the luck to see a sun halo once though. And a sun pillar also once. Beautiful stuff, nice video!
Eww.... northern euro trash. I know third world countries with better toilet manners than any single "country" in the north of europe. I believe that's where the phrase "euro trash" originates from boy. (_)_)::::::::::::::::D ~~ ~~ ~ ~~
Maybe the moon is LGBTQI!
@@Cjnw How does that have anything to do with rainbows?
I see them a lot during the winter here in Minnesota, especially when we get polar vortex weather. Always awesome when it happens!
I came down here to the comments to say the same thing
Yes yes! Moon rings, too. Lovely phenomena.
I noticed one on a scorching hot, no-cloud-in-sight summers day mere minutes before a magnitude 6.4 directly underneath the city.
That *could* have been electrostatic interference. When the plates are ready to shift, the piezoelectric minerals in the rock are under huge pressure so the surrounding rock also haa a lot of electrical energy stored up. It gets released when the rock finally shifts.
Or, that's my understanding of it at least.
i would absolutely love to see more videos on these ice halos- they’re breathtaking. i found this particularly interesting because there’s a video game called sky that features similar halos in its gameplay, nice to finally know what they’re called!
MUAAHHAHA YESSSSSS
Research geoengineering
Children of the Light!
In historical biblical and apocryphal documents the sky was referred to as the heavens.. look up videos about the geocentric universe and the firmament to find more images on ice halo, sun dogs, eclipse, double halo rainbows, sun and moon within clouds, lots of crazy stuff. Sometimes hard to find really good videos until you use key words
@@christrull7081 not gonna lie...I thought you were talking about Halo CE and was so confused until I saw what the video was and was like "oh, wrong halo" xD
I'm suffering some serious DEJA VU!!!
I've seen examples of these on and off my whole life! Always knew it was ice refraction and optics; glad to now know now it has become a subfield in meteorology! Great work, thank you sir!!
A few weeks ago, I witnessed a lunar ice halo. It was unbelievable. Breathtakingly immense.
When light is refracted by seamen is when you'll really see a show son.
They happen once in a while here in the northeast. You can’t help but glue your eyes to it for a few minutes, maybe take a picture.
Did you take a picture
@@dipanjanghosal1662 yessss! It was so big I could barely fit it into frame but I managed.
Have them all the time here in Norway.
We have a saying in Portuguese, “círculo na Lua, chuva na rua”, which means, literally, “circle on the Moon, rain on the streets”… And it almost never fails, whenever I see one of those halos (they’re usually quite small here in our climate), it’s all but guaranteed that it will rain a lot the next day.
I have never seen them around the sun before. But recently I have seen them fairly often around the moon.
I watched this video about a week, ago, and I watched it again, today. The reason? Two days ago, I witnessed an Ice Halo shortly after waking up, in the morning. We had a blizzard over the previous couple of days, with temperatures about -21 degrees Fahrenheit, and strong winds. This was the first time in my life (I'm 73 years of age) that I ever saw such a thing. The Sun had just rose over the horizon, and the "rainbow" colors were at the left and right of the Sun. I wouldn't have had the slightest idea what this was had I not watched this video, last week. Thanks, very much! By the way, I live in the country, about 75 miles SW of Chicago, Illinois. By your description, I think that you would have classified the phenomena as a parhelia.
Loved the better re-upload, thanks Astrum ❤️❤️
Living in the great white north, we always see these. Never loses their beauty though. Always magical in a sense
I've seen moon halos many times. It's so cool looking, there's a perfect ring around the moon and the sky is perfectly clear around the moon
There is truly no other channel that visualizes information as well as you do. AND you always offer alternative ways to visualize the same concept and it's so cool to see.
I've seen moon rings. Beautiful!! Thanks love your stuff!
I once saw a halo around the moon at night time years ago. It was stunning. Called all my friends to go outside. Never understood it till now. Thanks Astrum 👊😃
Me: **see halo**
Also me: "yep, the storm is aproaching"
once you see a lunar halo, it's difficult not to love it, its eerily beautiful and mesmerizing
I love when I see SunDogs. Best atmospheric phenomenon, except for possibly Northern Lights. The best Sundogs I ever saw were when they were so bright it looked like 3 Suns in the sky. Absolutely amazing.
God has granted me the privilege of seeing these in one form or another almost everyday. It also is not always accompanied by rain before or after. I have so many pics and if my camera cooperates I rarely fail to take one. Unfortunately I have an A 70 and my camera sucks. 😁. I must say I am always mesmerized. I live in southern Ontario and I expect you'll be telling me it's where I live. However I have lived many places in the western hemisphere and I have seen there since I was a child. Love your channel and how you explain the science of things. 🇨🇦💖🙏🏼🤟to all.💖
Sun dogs are a naturally occurring weather phenomenon caused by frozen water in the air, but it usually only happens when it's around 0⁰F. I have taken many pictures of them in my home state of North Dakota.
Sorry to see one of my favorite YT channels resort to click bait headlines. :-(
I grew up calling the ice halos, 'moon dog' for the moon version, 'sun dog' for the sun version of ice halos......I knew no other names until I found out via the internet videos.....live and learn more about life and it's secret and not so secret mysteries, and it's wonderful wondrous wonders.....
In the Southern regions of Australia, where Indian and Pacific Oceans merge with the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic region, these ice driven illusions are quite common. I assumed it would be the same anywhere else, and especially the Northern regions above the equator. In any case, we see this sort of thing in South West Australia (Denmark) regularly, and not just the sun, but the full moon also.
It’s interesting and convenient you posted this video, because two nights ago I looked up and saw this ring in the sky - after getting off work at 9pm CST in Missouri.
I've seen this around the sun only once, I legit thought I was hallucinating or dreaming. But that day literally nothing happened. It was late spring. Idk why he said you better get indoors.
Chemtrails, heat traps, temperature records, fear, control, subservience. Wakey, wakey folks. I love how all these sun halo videos are only a couple of years old because thats how long they've been spraying graphene in the sky.
I looked up at the sky at 1am at -20c at night in Jan 2017 and saw Light Pillars. My photos went viral, Canada put them on a stamp! Same idea. Different light source. We call ice halos "sun dogs" here in Ontario Canada.
I've seen this many times. I never once needed to hide from it.
I would love to hear more about the rarer halos. Great video!
Those halos are the most beautiful thing I've seen. Wish I could see one in person.
Alex, you are truly awesome. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Looking forward to many more in the future to come. Keep up the awesome work.
@russellpinuela2005 The hell is going on here
I've seen a moon halo once, and a sun halo once. Moon halo was winter night where I live, it was a triple halo. There were multiple layers of feint clouds that night. One around the moon, one offset form the moon to the right, and a third one offset but much bigger encapsulating the two smaller ones. The sun halo was in Norway in the late summer.
Here in Canada, I've seen both Sundogs and Moondogs. Sundogs are usually when the Sun is low to the ground, but Moondogs appear even when the Moon is high up.
Yeah, same down here on the south plains of Texas. Pretty common, and don't portend weather most of the time. I also call them Sundogs and Moondogs. Not just me haha Well... some people never look up, so, some people anyway...
Absolutely awesome. I'm not sure I've ever seen a sun halo, but conditions are right often enough in central US that ice halos happen every winter. Spectacular sight every time.
Just saw one last night encircling the moon over my home in Hawaii, shared it with my 17 y/o, she was amazed!
"Better get indoors"
Remove that from the title please, there's no need for click baiting and you should know better.
Your content is informative, no need for low tactics.
In New Orleans, about 60 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I see moon halos all the time. Stunning every time, especially after hurricanes when the power is out.
saw a lunar ice halo years ago when skiing, walked out onto the empty piste at night with my brother and was in awe
I think it's cool that you can see "rainbows" from the moon at night. It's just reflected sunlight, after all.
A couple of years back we we’re heading west in CA and there were 2 suns in the sky, aligned horizontally. It was quite shocking and incredible.
Back in January 2020 I saw an Ice Halo around the moon and I knew something was going to happen. I told this to my family and relatives and they said I was being "supersticious" and I told them "No... this is just a natural phenomenon because I read about this somewhere, but I do not know what is going to happen next".
They just laughed and during the night it was raining like hell. Nonetheless, it was a great vacation after all.
Absolutely love your weather-related content. Don't get me wrong, I love a good space video as much as the next guy, but I find the atmosphere absolutely fascinating and not as often discussed by science channels. Keep up the great work!
One of my cherished moments was when I was outside having a cigarette and saw a double halo around the moon. So I woke my father from sleep around midnight. He seemed to gladly still get up and enjoy the view of the moon and the time with me.
It has always been known as a Corona. Don't create new names because you're afraid to invoke the actual name.
Saw a beautiful "sundog" in Dallas, TX during our big/major freeze. It was absolutely spectacular!
Man, please don't go down the path you've started with these titles and thumbnails.
You never explained why we better get indoors. The first rule of clickbait is that it must be explained.
He said that these are usually a sign of storm thats why
In addition to other comments, I'll just say that, typically, if I see this or something similar where I am, it means its cold enough to freeze the bollocks off a brass monkey, so most smart folks stay indoors. I am not most smart folks, so I tend to just stick an extra layer on and go crunching through the snow or ice on the ground.
I've never heard of this phenomenon and knowing this channel is usually about astronomy, I thought this would be about a sign of an apocalyptic solar flair.
I did once saw myself a 22-degree halo when i was like 9 years old, that day was strange too because after the halos i saw double rainbow in the evening, it was really strange yet beautiful
Whenever I see sun dogs, which is fairly frequently, I’m not reminded to head indoors for safety. Rather, I’m simply reminded that I live in North Dakota.
Saw one this morning; super brilliant, with the 'sundogs'. 🙂
Up here in Alaska, besides the aurora (which is directly overhead where I live) we get to see ice halos, sun dogs, and ice pillars, and have ice fog when it's cold enough for it. Nothing sinister about them and no need to "head indoors" as alluded to in your video. In the winter, it's just plain COLD north of Fairbanks, with temps down to -30 F or even -40 F in January and February (the coldest recorded temperature in AK was -80 F back in the early 1970s). We've already had temps in the negative double digits this month (December, 2022). Life goes on up here regardless of the temperature.
Sun Dogs. We get them in the Canadian prairies the odd time. I head straight outdoors to photograph them. Gorgeous!
One time a polar vortex hit Chicago that had daytime temperatures reaching -15 f, and this resulted one day in a sun halo that created the illusion of two duplicate suns outside the halo... so when you looked at the sky, there were three suns with the real sun being the one with a dark ring around it. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Felt like being on an alien planet.
Those upside down rainbows might give a moment of pause to Death Stranding players.😉. Besides that, lovely video!
I see sundogs almost everyday, never knew they had different classes, very cool
I’ve never heard of sun dogs being called “ice halos” before. The writer of the script must live someplace where it doesn’t get cold in the winter 😂
Once, when I was 13 or 14 years old, I saw a four times double rainbow. I can't remember if I filmed it (I hope I did, it was back in the early 00's, where small digitals cameras were popular) and when I talk with my professor a few years ago, he didn't believe me! I was shocked about this.
But Axel can you explain a four times doubled rainbow?
In one end there were only one rainbow do to the lack of rain, a little further up the rainbow was double, and in the other end, it was four times over. It was truly a rare sight!
Love your channel! ❤
Great video. I saw one right outside my college, caught it in video, and uploaded to RUclips. Before I watched your vid, I thought it would be an extra rare phenomenon, but turns out it has happened quite a few times before. Looks super spectacular
Currently on holiday on lanzarote. Watching this outside on the balcony at 10pm. Look up and see exactly this. 🙌👍
@9:40 I love being in storms because I love rain, hail, and snow. The sound and feel of rain and wind is lovely and awakening the sound and look of lightning and rain is wonderful and awesome as well. I'll only take shelter if it's extreme winds or huge hail balls as those are dangerous!
C'mon Alex, we will still watch your videos without the clickbait title.
Don't stoop to their level 😘
Always take a minute to properly look at the sky. It will give you a sense of awe sooner than you expect. :)
I won't recommend to anyone to stare directly to the Sun without any eye protection
I will
Ice halos and sun dogs are very spectacular in the Antarctic Plateau, particularly in the Geographic South Pole.
2:50 "what distinguishes them from solar halos, is the source of light" well yes, but technically no. 🤣
I've seen them every winter. When their's spots on the sides we call them sun dogs.
I saw a moon halo the other night. Thought "haven't seen this in a while". Interesting video timing, but after earchingbthe video, I see why the timing happened. 👍
Moon dog.
@@booklover6753 Didn't see any dogs. There was a halo surround though.
I live in Phoenix and we get moon halos frequently in the summer during monsoon season. So at first I was surprised it was an "ice" halo, bcuz in summer we have 100°F+ temps, all day every day! But then I remembered thunderstorms are usually full of ice (hail) and that's what summer monsoon season means: thunderstorms. So of course it's icy up there!
As a kid I would always stare up at them and wonder at them. And sure enough, after seeing one a thunderstorm was imminent, usually the next day. Now I know! Thanks for sharing. Fascinating stuff
I saw a lot of "moon rings" in my life without ever knowing what caused them... Thank you for that explanation
I grew up in Michigan and while I've never seen a sun halo, moon halos are another matter. We always called them moon rings and I've seen those many times. I've even seen them with sideways looking rainbows. They are amazing. My father said that when he was a kid in Alaska, he saw sun dogs a couple of times.
This makes me want to center my next children’s book and illustrations around these halos 😇 🌈
It's funny to consider that while the rationale for naming sun halos and moon rings is the source of light, the source of light is EXACTLY the same!
One thing to add, the ice crystals do not have to be at high elevations, often i see them on ski hills from snow kicked up by wind and skiers. You can tell because they appear in front of near-by mountains and trees
8:26 "Could shed light" I see what you did there, mister!
A deft segue from ice halos to wallets. ( difficulty factor : 9.5 ) Alex, I'm impressed !
Have been watching moon halos the past few nights in the Yukon. Really quite amazing.
What the hell does "Better Get Indoors" have to do with ANY of this? You implied there was some type of danger associated with this phenomena.
I grew up around the farm, and I was always told the halos around the moon meant moisture in the coming days. Whereas sundogs signify the temperature is going to raise up.
I remember seeing the halo around the moon on a very cold night back in 2011. I was so amazed, and the people in the house I was living at, at private school (not what you think), didn't think anything of it. They didn't even think it was cool. I got in trouble because I wanted to stay outside longer, so I walked outside the doors to see it. Got negative 10,000 points for doing that and was off privileges for the week. The private school had a weird points system for behavior. It was effective, but it ruined kids mentality. It was easily abused as well.
A couple of years ago my son and I saw a very colorful moon halo in what I think could have been freezing fog, close to the ground. The moon was very bright, almost too bright to look at. I have seen many high up moon halo's before, but this one was huge, and colorful all the way around. You could see the small crystals or droplets in the moonlight. His phone could not capture it.
@@Drabkikker Your right, it was. I'm 70 and never seen anything like a rainbow around the moon. Diamond dust...nice!
3:26 it looks like an eye in the sky. I wouldn't be surprised if our ancestors seeing halos like that in the past was the fuel for birth of legendary myths about gods living in the sky.
I saw a moon rainbow 400 miles off the coast of Guam, USA 2 years ago. The rainbow was almost as bright as a day rainbow.
It was amazing! I tried to take a picture with my phone, knowing it wouldn't look good lol
AHHHH Sundogs and Moondogs! I love them! Thank you for making this video :D
