And Now It's An OPOD!

Read about it here: Two-State rare pyramidal crystal halos.

The "Two-State" refers to New Jersey and Delaware, as it was seen in both.

It just keeps getting cooler.

(And for those keeping score at home it seems this is my tenth OPOD. Double digits woo hoo!)

Remember this post: Blue Flash?

At the very beginning I wrote, "The bit of blue at the top of the sun appear to me to be the elusive cloud top blue flash or blue rim. What do you think?"

Well the two gentlemen who's sites I linked to in that quote think that it is.

And if you go visit the Optics Picture of the Day you'll see for yourself.

I'm up to thirty minutes ...

Keep looking up!

Remember this post: Look Up In The Sky?

At the very end I wrote:

"You can learn more about such arcs, and other atmospherics at the wonderful Atmospheric Optics site along with the OPOD. Click either link and enjoy your visit."

Well if you go visit the OPOD today you'll see my Parry Arc images.

I've made the big time.
