We've seen some ✨incredible✨ lights this week! Swipe right for a look at some of the photos.
1️⃣ Phenomenal light pillars captured in Alix, Alberta. Light pillars form on cold, calm nights when moisture in the air crystallizes into ice. These vertical light beams are created as artificial or natural light sources interact with the ice crystals.
2️⃣ A 'lunar halo' encircling the moon over Perkasie, Pennsylvania. This atmospherical phenomenon occurs when moonlight is refracted through ice crystals.
3️⃣ A "watermelon aurora" over Fairbanks, Alaska. High-energy nitrogen emissions painted the sky in beautiful pink and green hues during a substorm.
