Astropro's Website Of the Week Award ©2006 by Richard Nolle

OCT 2, 2006 - Atmospheric Optics is the best online guide I've found yet to apparitions in the sky. Back in Ptolemy's day, such phenomena would have fallen in the provenance of astrology, because the whole sky was seen as the canvas of the cosmos. You can still catch some of that sense of awe by gazing upon the images you'll find here, showcasing such wonders of the atmosphere as auroras, coronas, glories, halos, rays and iridescent clouds. If you're not content to simply admire such marvels in their own right, you'll find explanations for the optics behind them, and even some software you can download that helps you figure out what's happening up in the sky.
