And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Halo Around The Sun
South Africans were treated to quite a rare sight in the sky yesterday - a perfect rainbow halo around the Sun. The sight caused quite a stir and made headlines in the news - with lots of photos on the net as well.
The scientific explanation is that the halo is caused by light reflecting off tiny ice-crystals or water droplets very high in the sky. The thing about theses halos is that they can't be predicted like eclipses, the conditions for them to form have to be absoultely right. The conditions that form halos often cause rain and this is what happened yesterday evening, we had heavy showers of rain. Sometimes halos appear as arcs and other times, like yesterday, they completely surround the Sun. Like all of creation, they are wonderful masterpieces of the Lord's work!
