Amazing halo sun video shows wonders of science

-

 


The video was actually recorded in December, 2017 by Håkan Hammar, although it recently resurfaced and went viral on Twitter. 


In the video, Hammar and his fellow skiers are treated to what is ultimately the result of sunlight being refracted off a series of hexagonal ice crystals in the atmosphere. Essentially, when sunlight, or moonlight, arrives at a place on Earth’s surface cold enough to have ice crystals in the air, observers have a decent shot at witnessing one of these 22° halos. This is because the incoming waves of sunlight or moonlight are bent as they pass through the ice crystals, and directed toward different spots on the ground. In other words, the ice crystals form a lens that points the incoming light at a certain spot, and if an observer happens to be at that spot they’ll get an eye full of 22° halo.

The pair  ended their marriage with a bitter split in 2016 , with the custody battle over their six children turning ugly. Jane Pitt believes "manipulative" Angelina is to blame for Brad's emotional turmoil. "Jane is a tough cookie, and she will never forgive Angelina for what she’s put the family through – especially since they’ve barely seen the kids since the divorce was announced," In November, Jane’s grandchildren, Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, were put out of their misery as their parents Pitt, 55, and Jolie 43, reached a custody agreement. “A custody agreement was agreed to weeks ago, and has been signed by both parties and the judge,” Jolie’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, told Entertainment Tonight in a statement on Nov. 30. “The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial,” she continued. “The filing and th

Trump want supporters to vote twice for him

 President Donald Trump suggested to his supporters on Friday night that if they vote by mail they should also attempt to vote in person as a way to check that their vote is counted, which risks causing chaos at the polls and undermining confidence in the election Voting twice is illegal, and voting experts and state election supervisors warned it could put voters at risk of committing fraud. Election officials and voting experts agreed that an individual’s ballot is unlikely to be counted twice, but most condemned Trump’s attempts to goad supporters into trying. Many states use bar-coded tracking systems or other markings on ballots to show whether someone has already voted by mail. That would prevent the individual from voting again at the polls. In some states, a mail-in vote would be discarded if it arrived after the person had voted at a polling station. But officials don’t want a glut of people at polling sites trying to test the system, or adding delays and possible disputes at
