Spartans, listen to the haunting Halo song: A sacred ring has emerged from the stratosphere.
Singaporeans looked up at the sky in awe earlier today (September 22) as a multi-colored halo surrounded the midday sun, large enough to be seen by many in Tampines and other parts of eastern Singapore.
The optical phenomenon is not as uncommon as you might think.
Called 22-degree halos by scientists (due to their approximate 22-degree radius around the sun), the giant rings are produced when light is refracted and reflected through tiny ice crystals suspended in clouds high above the atmosphere.
However, it is not that the science behind these halos is important, but rather that they make the best photos posted online. The people of Singapore wasted no time capturing the phenomenon and sharing it on social media.
