A strange phenomenon appeared over the Toaca peak in the Ceahlău massif and was photographed by tourists who admired the clouds over the mountain. The photos with the phenomenon that appeared over the Ceahlău mountains, a silhouette surrounded by an aura, were disseminated on social networks and caught the attention of specialists.
During a hike at Toaca Peak, a woman photographed a huge figure that seemed surrounded by a colorful aura. Scientists say that although it is rare and very spectacular, the phenomenon is not unknown. They specified that it also has a name, “Gloria”, which appears when a person sits on top of a mountain with the sun behind and a roof of clouds in front.
Thus, its huge shadow is reflected in the mist and is framed by a rainbow.
The images and a comment about this phenomenon appeared on the Facebook account, Flight over the Romanian mountains (see photo), with a brief comment.
“The phenomenon called Gloria is another gift that the mountain can offer you. It looks like a circular rainbow and appears when you are in an area with fog or low clouds and the sun behind you. Show! ”, It is displayed on the Facebook account.
According to the researchers who analyzed the phenomenon, the explanation of the silhouettes that appear in the sky, the “Gloria” phenomenon, is trivial. Therefore, under the right conditions, the observer’s shadow will be cast in the fog. The sunlight is reflected on it, by the water droplets in the mist. Thus, the halo of color is formed around the shadow. Due to the wind that moves the waves of fog, the silhouette gives the impression that it is moving and signals.
In this context, specialists advance the theory according to which this phenomenon, Gloria, is also behind the numerous visions and appearances of angels or saints, indicated by various witnesses, in isolated sounds, located at very great heights.
This phenomenon, Gloria is also known as “Brocken”, after a peak in the Hartz Mountains, located in northern Germany. There, this phenomenon was observed and reported for the first time, more than 300 years ago, in 1700.
Since then, tourists visit the area in large numbers, hoping to see this phenomenon again or with the witches and demons mentioned by local legends and said to appear on the night of April 30, the night of Valpurgia. .
