saw a weird phenomenon today

i'd say it was between 1:00 & 1:30 pm.

i looked up at the sun, and there was a gigantic greyish
circle radiating around it, enclosed by a subtle rainbow
membrane. i don't even know how to begin to explain how it
happened, unless i was a meteorologist.

anyone else witness recent unfamiliar phenomena?

There was a cloud in front of the sun...yes I can see how
that is a wierd phenomenon.

"When I was a kid my mom told me not to stare into the sun.
So once when I was 6 I did"

anyway...it's probably just some reaction of your eye.

actually there wasn't.

everything outside of the circular membrane wasn't as dark
as the inside.

Still a cloud and an optical illusion that often occurs, it
is caused by you eyes actually trying to focus on the cloud
and the sun at the same time, it causes the dark inner. The
rainbow is obviously the light as it passes through the
water content of the cloud.

Yes, my theory is that your mum has the ability to see
clouds as well

but wasn't he a quantum physicist?

He had foundations in traditional physics which he expanded
on with quantum theory.

i couldn't even fit the entire ring into the shot.

I live by the coast and see the same thing all the time.

Well, this could also be the sign of the apocalypse. In 7
days the earth will be covered in shadow. The elements will
eradicate all living creatures on this planet and the core
will disintegrate until it explodes.

Of course, this is just my theory.

a rainbow around it? :D

the dark ring and the rainbow are merely signs that the
apocalypse will happen soon. it's too late now :(

yeah, it sounds like it was just a halo,
which is caused, as ecnabniarb said, by the sunlight passing
through a layer of high thin clouds
