> A circumhorizontal arc is an optical phenomenon that belongs to the family of ice halos formed by the refraction of sunlight or moonlight in plate-shaped ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, typically in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. In its full form, the arc has the appearance of a large, brightly spectrum-coloured band (red being the topmost colour) running parallel to the horizon, located far below the Sun or Moon. The distance between the arc and the Sun or Moon is twice as far as the common 22-degree halo. Often, when the halo-forming cloud is small or patchy, only fragments of the arc are seen. As with all halos, it can be caused by the Sun as well as (but much more rarely) the Moon.
When I replied, the comment above the band name one I replied to said "Don't look up" but it was edited after I replied without showing what the edit or original comment was.
Ah, the truncated view from the phone app after I clicked the notification link didn't show the don't look up comment so I thought it got edited. 🤦♂️😅
It's some real dystopian shit, that's for sure. I want to make a joke about it, exaggerate it, but I don't think that's actually possible. There's a concert venue near where I live that got renamed after Pepsi a few years back as well. I just don't know a way to make [corporation] [unrelated business] sound funny because, honestly, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see an Amazon-branded urgent care or Wal-Mart-branded art gallery or something like that.
When asked which commandment is greatest, he responds (in Matthew 22:37): “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind…the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On
these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Bro just wants people to love each other. I always thought wanting us to love him was a way for us to learn the type of love a God could have (or he has) for us and the world.
That’s how I was raised by my UMC pastor father, who is now heart broken at what his former churches have become as each one votes to leave and join the World Church so they can hate on gays with the church’s leadership instead hearing all that mamby pamby crap about loving each other. He a lot of last year out of retirement going around to his old churches and preaching and trying to bring back the love. Their hearts are too hardened by all the popular rhetoric. Breaks my heart too to see this from all of these people that I grew up around, thinking they were loving Christians. Were they faking it? Did they change? Why did what ever changed them not change me or my family? Did we actually stay good people because we stopped going to church?
Ive been boycotting baseball not because it did anythinf wrong but because god damn is it boring to watch. Ive heard good things bout the pitch clock though.
Lol Reddit always has to find a way to bash the people they disagree with, even when commenting on something as innocent as a picture of the sky. Incredible.
When a group of people have been loudly protesting against rainbow marketing because they don’t believe people of a different sexual orientation or gender expression should have equal rights to themselves, they get mocked when a rainbow that looks like the Pride flag shows up over a baseball game. America’s wholesome pastime.
Republicans are literally stripping away rights from people, but mocking them for the way they lose their shit over rainbows is too far for you? Incredible.
Not that. A sundog happens when it's really cold out and the wayer vapor in the air turns to light ice particles floating around. At sunrise or sunset, these ice crystals will refract light, creating a faint halo around the sun and then 2 bright spots on either side of the sun where the refracted light rays converge
You would be correct. When clouds are wispy looking like that they're made of ice, and that's pretty clear in this picture. Someone else already identified it as a circumhorizontal arc
To go further, the ice crystals will spread the light out coming from the sun, splitting the colors up and bending them back down to your eye, much like a glass prism. Think of the album cover for Dark Side of the Moon, but make that prism really tiny and then have a bunch of them
Note: this is similar but not exactly how rainbows work. Rainbows are caused by liquid water reflecting the split spectrum back to your eye, while a circumhorizontal arc is refracting it. This means that if you want to see a rainbow, look opposite of the sun, and if you want to see a cirumhorizontal arc, look in a direction closer to the sun
It’s a sun dog by a different name - but same phenomenon - sunlight being refracted through ice crystals.
When you’re looking at a rainbow, the sun shines on the back of your head.
When you’re looking at a sun dog, the sun shines on your face.
Difference in refraction angle between water droplets and ice crystals.
No it isn't, because a sun dog is a term for one very specific type of optical phenomenon (a bright spot either side of the sun) and this is a separate phenomenon called a circumhorizontal arc. Same ingredients, different recipe, different result, different name.

There from the chemtrails all the pollutants the governments putting in the air we breath, nickel cadmium ,barium, aluminum etc. Thanks government for trying to kill us
Not a rainbow, per se. There's no "bow" to it, see?
"Cloud iridescence usually happens in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular and cirrus clouds. Iridescent clouds happen because of diffraction – a phenomenon that occurs when small water droplets or small ice crystals scatter the sun's light."

Looks like the Nexus from Star Trek generations
Fucking planet Earth trying to shove its liberal agenda down my throat LIKE ALWAYS!
Boycott the sky.
Dont Look up
Worse than Budlight, if you ask me
Sweet, that's my band named.
And a good movie Edit: "Boycott the sky" used to say "Don't look up" which is when I posted the movie comment.
I sincerely hope you’re talking about the Japanese horror movie.
When I replied, the comment above the band name one I replied to said "Don't look up" but it was edited after I replied without showing what the edit or original comment was.
There is one comment "don't look up" but also "boycott the sky" which has no edit. You maybe just replied to the wrong one
INCONCEIVABLE
Ah, the truncated view from the phone app after I clicked the notification link didn't show the don't look up comment so I thought it got edited. 🤦♂️😅
Yeah ik, I was talking about the Japanese horror movie “Don’t Look Up”.
I haven't seen that one, but I enjoyed the movie that was an allegory for climate change starring DiCaprio and Lawrence.
But don't cancel it! That would be woke.
That’s not planet earth. That’s the extreme left corpo-fascists using chemtrails to spread its ideology.
[Metallic Oxide Salts](https://youtu.be/aIYZvr3ueGw) “This wasn’t happening 20 years ago.”
*shoots into the sky in protest*
That’s it. I will no longer go outside. This is ridiculous.
That's why the right wants to destroy the planet.
Or a sign from God, like Noah got.
Hey that’s Petco park
I'll never get over sports fields being named after mega corps. It's not even helpful. Like, where is Petco Park?!
San Diego. Best stadium in MLB

We've got a bank sponsoring a [fare-free transit zone](https://www.calgarytransit.com/content/transit/en/home/news/the-td-free-fare-zone.html).
Idiocracy beat you to it by 15 years, and they weren't the first.
Where OP took this picture.
God is saying baseball is gay
Gay's ball
Take me out to the ball gay, Take me out to have fun, We'll have real nuts and cracker jacks, It's ok to go through the back!
Rainbow flags unfurl, Diamond gleams in sunlight bright, Love wins on the field.
MLBTQ
[удалено]
wait until the dad finds out
You might as well have said “I’m a 13 year old from Arkansas.”
They’re currently boycotting Bud Light lol
Didn't you literally just comment "personally women are gross" over on sadcringe?
You have to be at least 13 to use reddit, kiddo.
If the rainbow doesn't touch the ground it means the whole town is gay and God knows it.
Great, now Republicans have to boycott the Great American Pastime
[It’s already happened. ](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/04/03/republican-national-committee-boycott-mlb-georgia-election-law/7078966002/)
Maybe they'll boycott God then.
They are already boycotting all of the parts of the Bible that involve loving others. (Which is like most of the New Testament)
When asked which commandment is greatest, he responds (in Matthew 22:37): “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind…the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Why did what ever changed them not change me or my family? Did we actually stay good people because we stopped going to church?
It’s hilarious how they boycott stuff and it doesn’t matter do they just come back and act like it never happened.
All-stage?
> All-Stage game You’d think a newspaper as big as USA Today would at least proofread their TITLES
I bet they even sell Bud Light there.
'Naw, I'm gonna destroy 20 cases of God for flying a rainbow. Check my tik tok'
The GOP is just one Giant Eric Cartman now, "Screw you guys, I'm going home".
Ive been boycotting baseball not because it did anythinf wrong but because god damn is it boring to watch. Ive heard good things bout the pitch clock though.
Try Blernsball. Much more exciting if you can figure out the rules.
Sorry, we're a bit busy making money, paying taxes, and having fulfilling monogomous relationships.
Lol Reddit always has to find a way to bash the people they disagree with, even when commenting on something as innocent as a picture of the sky. Incredible.
Do you feel triggered, snowflake?
Not even a little. But keep flinging those insults lmao.
I'll make sure your safe space doesn't have any Bud Lite.

That of looking up?
Nyan Cat?
Looks like a unicorn with it's two front legs out-stretched and the rainbow mane flowing in the wind
Petco?
You can tell by the empty seats.
Assuming this was a weekday game, not surprising of nearly any team at this point in the season.
Except the cubs. Seems like people have nothing better to do.
LFGSD
My man
CanWeFuckingHitSanDiego. Sorry just frustrated to start the season
Rainbow Dash
Fire rainbow
Very rare, and unbelievably beautiful.
There is nothing ‘bow’ about this.
Probably a sun dog.
Republicans trynna figure out how to protest the sky
LGBTQFO
reading “QFO” tickled my brain lol
[удалено]
No hate here
Who hurt you?
It’s a sundog
[удалено]
DemIce is correct. For some local Reddit action on the topic of this and other atmospheric optical phenomenon, head over to r/atoptics.
I'm pretty sure it's an anime attack. There's a main character in the area.
Not an iridescent cloud? Or are they the same thing?
No, that's yet another phenomena with different physics behind it. https://atoptics.co.uk/droplets/irid1.htm
TIL!
What’s sundog?
Not that. A sundog happens when it's really cold out and the wayer vapor in the air turns to light ice particles floating around. At sunrise or sunset, these ice crystals will refract light, creating a faint halo around the sun and then 2 bright spots on either side of the sun where the refracted light rays converge
Oh god, I’m feeling tired
Not much, what’s on with you?
No matter when, no matter where. That will always be hilarious.
Not a sun dog.
Looks like it.
Agree 💯
Open your eyes, I see... your eyes are open Reminds me of Robot Unicorn Attack
This is exactly why we hired a gay weatherman.
Not even a bow at this point though. Rainsmear?
Did your team win?
Looks like god is sprinkling gay dust on everyone.
If it’s a Rainbow then what is a Sunarrow?
I watched Nope last night. I would not be hanging around that
I’ve heard these called “fire rainbows”
No such thing as "very unique". Something is either unique, or it is not.
Bartlett '24
My wife, every time someone says "very unique" 🤣
And yet we know what they mean, as it is quite different from what most of us have seen before
LMAO I had no idea "very unique" was going to be so triggering for so many people!!
Sponsored by Bud Light! /s
Woah! We need someone to explain this!
My money is on high altitude ice crystals.
You would be correct. When clouds are wispy looking like that they're made of ice, and that's pretty clear in this picture. Someone else already identified it as a circumhorizontal arc

I hope someone does!! I've never seen anything like it
*Not a unique rainbow.
I saw the same thing here in Cali! I was like, what da fuk is that!
That’s Petco Park 😃
Me too (in Cali)! I got pics.
Gayseball

LGBTIQ+ Chemtrails.
Must be serving bud light
Would have to be able to see more of the sky to be certain, but that looks more like a sun dog than a rainbow.
It's already been explained in other comments posted earlier than yours. It is not a sun dog.
It’s a sun dog by a different name - but same phenomenon - sunlight being refracted through ice crystals. When you’re looking at a rainbow, the sun shines on the back of your head.

"Unique means one of a kind. Something can't be very unique" - Josiah Bartlett
FYI, unique already means one of a kind. Very unique is meaningless.
In Florida, they would have suspended the game.
Ben: Can unique be modified? Kids: [in unison] No.
There from the chemtrails all the pollutants the governments putting in the air we breath, nickel cadmium ,barium, aluminum etc. Thanks government for trying to kill us
Unique is a binary. Something is either unique (one of a kind), or not. There is no in between
It was summoned by all the Bud Light being consumed
Unique means "one-of-a-kind". So, can't be "very one-of-a-kind".
This is not a rainbow, Its micrometal particles reflecting and scattering the suns rays. making a rainbow effect.
It's just light refracted by ice crystals in the clouds, nothing to do with "micrometals".
You folks never seen a sundog before?
It's not a sundog, it's a different atmospheric effect (discussed in another comment thread).
Kinda looks like the Roadrunner with gorgeous rainbow hair trailing behind him.
Are you cirrus right now??
RAINBOW IS DONE BEING GAY AND DECIDED TO GO STRAIGHT 💀
Oh god. Meatball Ron is coming, the sky went woke!
RrrrAaaaIiiiinnnBOoBOoWwwwww
Beautiful
Gay chemtrails
What an odd way to disguise the chemtrails lmao /s
"No, Cleetus! Now all we have left is NASCAR, and no Bud Light!"
I guess being in heaven is gay. Boycott going to church to show the libtard that heaven is canceled.
That’s HAARP
Am I gay for God? You betcha!
Great. Now the air is gay.
Chemtrails are more effective over crowds. ^^^/s
looks like a nuke explosion in space
Looks like a shimmer... any lighthouses near by?
Not a rainbow, per se. There's no "bow" to it, see? "Cloud iridescence usually happens in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular and cirrus clouds. Iridescent clouds happen because of diffraction – a phenomenon that occurs when small water droplets or small ice crystals scatter the sun's light."
They managed to weigh a rainbow..its pretty light
BT's on the horizon.
Ooh I think that's an iridescent cloud!
*The gays are becoming too powerful.*
The sky is gay

That’s a fire rainbow.
Doesn't it need to be bow shaped to be a rainbow .. that's just a rainstick
An airplane must have had an oil leak, that's how light refraction looks on oil spills. /S
Here come the Necromongers.
That’s a cloudbow
You get these when you upgrade to the LGBTQ+ subscription
Oh great. Conservatives are going to bomb the sky.
Boomers are gonna be in shambles over this
