@kellyromanych Hoping this won’t turn out to be some Death Star approaching. 2026 has been quite the year.

@wendinoakland @kellyromanych Not at all, your input is much appreciated. You may well have stopped a stampede of ignorance which is always a good thing.

@Alison @Broadfork @kellyromanych okay, that’s when ice crystals reflect light. Wikipedia explains it much better than I can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog -

Very cool. Here's one I saw around a full moon. I've only seen this once in my life (as far as I can remember.) -
