HALO AROUND THE SUN YESTERDAY
All eyes were fixed to the sky yesterday as Barbadians witnessed a rare optical phenomenon called a halo that appeared around the sun. The Barbados Meteorological Office explained that is was simply a ring of light that forms around the sun or moon as either of them retracts off ice crystals present in a thin layer of cirrus clouds. A halo is usually a bright white ring but it can have colours just as was visible yesterday.
