Ring around the sun!

At around 1150hours today, about an hour ago, my sis received a mes­sage from her friend telling her to head out­side and look upon the mid­day sky. She grabbed my W810i and snapped a few pic­tures kinda like the few one’s we see below.

For obvi­ous rea­sons, you can’t see the sun. It’s pretty much at the cen­ter of the ring. And there’s this glow­ing ring with rain­bow colours all around.

I’m not sure what this phe­nom­ena is called, but it’s pretty damn cool. Too bad I didn’t get to see the real thing though. We were halfway through three ago­niz­ing peri­ods of chem­istry that time.

When I reached home, Dad and sis were ani­mat­edly talk­ing about what they saw ear­lier. I grabbed my phone, looked through the pics, down­loaded them into my pc and here I am. XD

I don’t know, maybe it’s a sign for all Kuch­ing­nites to get lucky? :p

Edit: Well as pointed out by Edrei in the com­ments, it’s caused by ice crys­tals form­ing in cir­rus clouds waay high up in the sky. It’s amus­ing what merely ice crys­tals could do, when they cause such a ruckus in town. XD At least four local dailies are hav­ing this as news on their front­page, and it has been the talk of the town. I mean, every­where you go it’s like ‘Hey, did you see the ring around the sun yesterday?’

Makes me pon­der how com­mon and con­nected every­one is, when we’re all just under one sky. XD
