EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Solar Halo and Parhelia: A Rare Sight of Natural Beauty and Historical Significance" This image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a unique and breathtaking celestial phenomenon known as a solar halo, or more specifically, parhelia (Pl. 96). The photograph, taken in the past, transports us back in time to witness this natural wonder in all its glory. At first glance, the image may appear to be a radiant sun surrounded by a rainbow. However, upon closer inspection, one can discern the presence of two bright spots, or parhelia, situated at the outer edges of the halo. These luminous rings, often associated with halos around the moon, are less commonly seen around the sun. Parhelia are formed when sunlight refracts through ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere. The result is a stunning display of light that not only adds to the visual appeal of the sun but also holds historical significance. This photograph, taken in the 19th century (specifically in 1849), would have been an awe-inspiring sight for those fortunate enough to witness it. The image serves as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with the natural world and the wonders it holds. In summary, this photograph captures the essence of a rare and beautiful celestial event - a solar halo with parhelia. The image not only showcases the natural beauty of this phenomenon but also transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the historical significance of such occurrences.
