"Many thanks to our sponsor Anita Roberts for taking this excellent photograph of a circular Sun Halo displaying sunlight being reflected and refracted by high altitude atmospheric ice crystals. Anita spotted this unusual occurrence and photographed it with her iPhone from the Jodrell Plank Visitor Centre.. The sun halo was easily detected with the naked eye but the colours due to refraction were better seen on the image. In all the halo lasted for over 20 minutes". Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
