Sun Rings

A halo circling the sun. An omen of the arriving of the New God to Earth………… Transformers is on it’s way!!!!!

Kidding…

22nd June 2007 (Friday), an unusual yet unique phenomena happened in Kuching – a rainbow circling the sun. Cherry was so excited and keep pm me in the messenger. But I was a bit too late, so I missed it! Didn’t observe this with my own eyes!! Too bad. This is something new for us. Not many people get to see this phenomena because we don’t always stare at the sun. (It hurts our eyes!)

The rainbow around the sun is actually the formation of larger ice crystals in the atmosphere. The sunlight refracts of the ice crystals, making a ring of rainbow circling the sun. That is why we get to see this kind of phenomena. This phenomena was discovered as early as in the 15th century. Similar phenomena of this “sun ring” is usually referred as the sun dog/sundog or sunbow. (More on Wiki)

Here is a vid I found in YouTube:

  Some so-called local “Goemancer” state that this wad a bad omen. He/She says that something wrong will happen in the local community and the city itself will sustain nature damage for sometime in the future. It even come out on the front page newspaper. Wth, its 21st century. How could somebody just say that. Prove me wrong but even before this “Bad Omen” thing shows up, theres much black sheep among our community as it is. Quit trash talking, “Geomancer”.
