Details:
Diffraction patterns around the sun in clear sky and in a nearby fractocumulus cloud. The sun's disk is the white spot just behind the dark glass. The colors in the cloud are generated by water droplets. The diffuse colors in the clear sky around the sun might be caused by dust particles of about the same size as the cloud droplets because of the red section having the same distance from the sun as the red in the cloud. The phenomenon in the clear sky is reminiscent of Bishop's ring, but it is smaller than the Bishop's rings seen after volcanic eruptions. This 'mini-ring of Bishop' is present one day and not the next, suggesting a more local origin. The second image is an enhanced version of the original.
