Kern Arc -
the halo photo of the decade
To the casual observer, this photo of ice halos around the sun taken by Marko Mikkilä of Finland may not seem extraordinary, but to experts it is "the halo photo of the decade." The excitement springs from a faint circle around the zenith labeled "Kern arc".
The rare Kern arc completes the circle of the much brighter and frequently seen circumzenithal arc. "Kern arc sightings are few indeed, only two or three reports in the last century, and it has never ever been photographed--until Mikkilä did it last Nov. 17th," says atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley.
"The next time you see a bright grin in the sky, look around for the complete circle," urges Cowley. "You might catch a Kern arc of your own." Note: This photograph was first reported by Tähdet ja avaruus, the Finnish magazine of popular astronomy, in its Jan. 2008 issue.
