   Summary Authors:  Chih-lung Lin;  Jim Foster
   The colorful ringed structured featured above shows a  glory and
    Brocken Spectre. It was observed via a  drone from above a
   mountainous area near Miaoli, Taiwan and was only visible when the Sun
   was directly behind the drone, which was looking downward into a fog
   bank. The "spectre" in the middle of the rings, best seen in the bottom
   photo, is the drone's shadow. This phenomenon appears when sunlight is
    diffracted by minute  cloud droplets. Note that I wasn’t able to
   detect this with the naked eye as I was below the layer of clouds/fog.
   Photo taken on February 6, 2022.

   Photo details: DJI Mavic3; 24 mm; f/2.8; 1/3200 second exposure.
