Have you seen a solar halo?

Too bad that it only appeared in Penang. I've never see such phenomenon in my whole life before.

But many in Penang's George Town between 1.30pm and 2.15pm yesterday saw a spectacular rainbown around the sun called solar halo. Understanding it further, the halo was an atmospheric optical phenomenon caused by a refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the sky. It occurs a few times a year on a hot and clear days but people don't realise its existence as we don't look at the sky during the day.

Those who witnessed regarded it as a good sign because halo in religion and spirituality means holiness and while the sun is a positive source of light and energy. It will bring good luck and fortune to people in the land.
