God Is Smiling...?

Check it out! I saw this picture in a magazine recently. I was like "huh!? What's this?" then I found it really interesting. This is a smiling rainbow which is opposite of what we usually see in our daily life. The "smiling" band of brilliant colours is known as a circumzenithal arc. It occurs when sunlight bounces off ice crystals high in the atmosphere, sending the light rays back up towards the sky. It differs from a normal rainbow where light penetrates raindrops and re-emerges on the other side heading towards earth, causing a drooping effect. Upside down are rarely seen outside the polar regions and need a particular set of atmospheric conditions in order to occur. Some people even call it " smile of God"!



Smile more ^.^ CHEESE~~
