eMocha!

Did it snow? Whats rare?

I saw this image on dailymail on a phenomena called the sundog. Sundog is a rare optical illusion. Of course its not the same as mirage that allows you to look at Hawaii babes dancing in the middle of the desert. Instead you get to see a rainbow which is not a rainbow but turn out to be a colourful donut ring.

Its so beautiful isnt it? It happened in Malaysia, and you probably recognized the coconut trees.

What are Sundogs?

These appear when the sun is low in the sky and its rays catch the thin vapour formed of ice crystals which lies in the atmosphere six miles above the Earth’s surface.

The rays are refracted by the crystals to produce what looks like a halo round the sun.

Sometimes, as here, they display a spectrum of colours from red closest to the sun to a pale blue furthest from it, which has led to them being mistaken for full circle rainbows.

In centuries past, they were thought of as signs of ill omen. These days they are most often mistaken for UFOs.

See? Actually, Malaysia also special lar!
