• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This is extremely cool. Was picking my grandson up from elementary school an hour ago and saw this. its a kind of circular rainbow called a "circumhorizontal arc". formed by ice crystals in cirrus clouds. Not sure how rare but I had neither seen nor heard of this until an hour ago! You can see in the top picture there are actually two of them. I could only get a good image of the main one. 15 minutes after I shot this, it was gone. Gods work is GOOD.

Quite common in Australia. Either the colour you show in your screenshot or the standard ring.

Australian farmers use rings around the sun or moon as weather predictors. The closer the ring to the sun or moon the closer the rain. That one would indicate rain in 3 days :).
