A rare atmospheric optical phenomenon, known as a 22-degree halo or a sun halo, is visible in the sky above Jos, Nigeria
MomentA rare atmospheric optical phenomenon, known as a 22-degree halo or a sun halo, is visible in the sky above Jos, Nigeria. The sun, a bright white disk, is positioned in the upper center of the image, slightly to the left. Encircling the sun is a distinct, complete circular band of light, displaying a spectrum of colors characteristic of a rainbow. Faint, wispy clouds are scattered across the sky, some of which appear to be illuminated by the sun. In the lower portion of the image, the dark, corrugated roof of a building is visible, suggesting an urban or semi-urban setting in Jos. The overall lighting indicates it is daytime, likely midday, given the sun's position and intensity. There are no people or animals clearly visible in the scene. The environment appears to be an open sky with a partial view of a building's rooftop.
