Is this partial solar eclipse?
I was having my lunch and my Mum was telling me about Sebo vacuums when my brother sms me from school. The sms goes like this,”Sis, auntie told me there is solar eclipse now. You go out and see. If true, take a picture for me
.”
I hardly believe it cause it seems like a normal bright day. Solar eclipse is supposed to be very dark eh? And, if I not mistaken, we are not suppose to see the sun directly if there is solar eclipse, no?
Anyway, I sms my auntie and she told me to go out and see, the sun is surrounded by a lil bit of rainbow but slightly darker. She knew it because her colleagues ‘ran out’ from the office to see it and so she followed the crows. lol.
I went out, looked at the sky with my hand trying to protect my eyes and I saw exactly what my auntie said. Then, I quickly grabbed my digicam and snapped it before my eyes went blind (incase).
I never see such a phenomenon before. *so kampung* I think it’s a partial eclipse? Or other phenomenon? Somebody enlighten me, please…
Edit:
Alright, so it was the phenomenon called Halo.






Interesting pic. BTW I have an award for you on my blog: http://jasahm.blogspot.com/
Anyway, the pix taken is so nice & pro! Have a nice day
It is called Sun Halo.
The ice crystal form in the upper atmosphere refracted the sunlight to resembled a round halo or rainbow around the sun
