This media file captures a prominent 22-degree solar halo, also known as a sun halo, centered around the sun in the sky over Jos, Nigeria. The sun, appearing as a brilliant, overexposed white disk, is at the core of the circular atmospheric phenomenon. The halo itself is a complete, well-defined ring, exhibiting faint spectral colors with a reddish tint on its inner edge and bluer hues on its outer perimeter. The sky within the halo's circumference appears slightly darker and hazier than the regions immediately surrounding it. The halo is formed by sunlight refracting through ice crystals present in high-altitude clouds, likely cirrus or cirrostratus, which are visible as patchy white and gray formations across the sky. The clouds vary in density, from thin, wispy structures to more concentrated areas. The high position and intensity of the sun suggest the image was taken during midday or early afternoon. No text is visible in the image.
