Not an arcus, but what looks to be a series of Stratocumulus volutus. Nice find nonetheless!
Arcus is a supplementary feature attached to a strong convective cloud (Cumulonimbus or possibly a strong Cumulus). This isn’t the case here.
I post pictures with my other account @Deme@lemmy.world

Close, but this is in fact the circumhorizontal arc. It’s very similar to the cza, but the refractions happen in the opposite order. The cha occurs below the sun when the sun is high, the cza occurs high above the sun (near the zenith) when the sun is low.
Nice pictures!
Yes, but was this the bullet that hit him (so picture taken after he was hit), or a previous shot that missed?
Spectacular crepuscular rays!
Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.
Sure. If any are left alive after the IDF demolishes Gaza to the ground.
Not refraction, but diffraction and interference. The droplets (or ice particles or in some cases even pollen) get so small that light stops behaving like rays at those scales.
This is the 22° halo. A Corona is an entirely different phenomenon caused by diffraction and interference of light around tiny water or ice particles, or other such particles of similar size. Halos on the other hand are formed by refraction. Here’s another great resource about coronae (and pretty much every other atmospheric optical phenomenon out there).
You’re correct about halo phenomena being caused by ice crystals. As such, they are most often observed when there’s Cirrostratus in the sky, and that in turn is often the result of an incoming warm front. The Cirrostratus may start to thicken into Altostratus and Nimbostratus, so overcast and rainy would be the safest bet.
Yeah the number if immigrants is very little even by our standards, but our right wing government is doing all it can to stoke fears of a Russian hybrid operation, just so that they get an excuse to shut down the border. Ironically, that’s exactly what Russia wants them to do because such disregard for human rights naturally inflames internal political tensions here.
There would be significantly less drama if we just took them in with due processing, but now that the racist nationalists party is in government with a spineless sack of shit as the PM, they’re not going to do that.
That is a beast!
Also a bit of mammatus there on the underside of the incus.
That’s a lot of dead trees :(
Nice pic tho
To be fair, the surface pressure of Titan is the second most hospitable in the solar system, just 1.5 bars.
Robots cost money. Sweatshop slaves work for food.
So the lack of proof is the proof? Bro you have schizophrenia.
