I wonder how far-ranging parhelia are? I mean, would two observers hundreads of miles apart still see the same thing? I suppose I need to look that up. :) I've seen lots of 22 degree moon halos, but never one around the sun.<BR/><BR/>CGP, yes I was lucky enough to have one of those for a few classes!<BR/><BR/>H&B2, I will expect a report.<BR/><BR/>Laurie, let me know if you are successful. I've been wanting to try again but it's been cloudy every morning since.<BR/><BR/>Cathy, it definitely does. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Linda!<BR/><BR/>Rachel, make sure to have you camera handy, and let me know if it works for you.<BR/><BR/>Arcolaura, cool! Now I'm going to be looking for this phenomenon everywhere...<BR/><BR/>Vicki, oh someone has scooped me again. I thought of that invention but never did anything about it! They should have interchangable plates for different deities.<BR/><BR/>KF, let me know if you have any luck!<BR/><BR/>FC, of course! Well, either an angel or a devil. Definitely one of those.<BR/><BR/>Deb that was surely the most frightening thing. But really, I DID have on a very big coat. Really. :)<BR/><BR/>Cyndy, be careful, it's easy to waste an entire afternoon on that site!<BR/><BR/>Vicki - it was just temporary. :)Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1168226460699542092007-01-07T21:21:00.000-06:002007-01-07T21:21:00.000-06:00And now you've gone to heaven?

Looking straight down the light, you see the lit sides of all the little straws. As soon as you look a bit to one side or the other, you start to see the shadowed sides. Sometimes it makes a brilliant pillar stretching way off across the fields above your shadow's head.<BR/><BR/>I first noticed it about a decade ago while doing a lot of field work through the fall. The poor guy from California who was working with me had to endure my observations about my own shadow having a halo, while his didn't! He thought it was a reflection off the helmet (which he refused to wear), but taking off the helmet made no difference. He couldn't see my halo. Maybe if he had looked for it above his own shadow, he would have seen it.<BR/><BR/>I wrote a whole song about it. Might have to post it.arcolaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448256908335690710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1167960330940322802007-01-04T19:25:00.000-06:002007-01-04T19:25:00.000-06:00Very interesting!!

Thanks for the links to the great website.<BR/>I think I may have experienced this when standing on a dock with the sun behind me. There were glory rays in the water around my shadow as I moved around to test the effect.

I also heard of a display of parhelia with a complete halo and possibly some of the other halos right here in northern Alabama. I, unfortunately, was under my little mobile home insulating pipes when it happened, but my parents told me it was magnificent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
