Full wolf moon and a 22? halo are seen from L'Aquila, Italy, on January 24th, 2024. 22? halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a halo with an apparent radius of approximately 22? around the Sun or Moon. When visible around the Moon, it is also known as a moon ring, storm ring, or winter halo. It forms as sunlight or moonlight is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Its radius, as viewed from Earth, is roughly the length of an outstretched hand at arm's length.

United Airlines Boeing 777-200 airplane overflying Eindhoven in The Netherlands leaving behind colorful trails, the Aerodynamic and Rainbow Contrails. The aircraft has the registration N782UA and is flying from Frankfurt FRA Germany to Chicago ORD USA at 34.000 feet, flight UA906 / UAL906. The extreme rare phenomenon of the iridescent contrail is also called an aerodynamic contrail that happens when air pressure and temperature over the wings drop rapidly, causing the water vapor to freeze, so the water droplets refract the light at different wavelengths like a rainbow.
