A picture taker caught a heavenly presentation while skiing down the Hörnligrat Mountain in the Swiss Alps. Utilizing only an iPhone 11, Michael Schneider snapped a shocking picture the second the second ice precious stones froze midair, making an ideal 'radiance' around the sun. The optical wonder, which is really known as a 22° corona, happens when light cooperates with ice precious stones suspended in the climate.

Geophysicist Mika McKinnon told Fox News: 'The crystals can be high up in cirrus clouds, or closer to the ground as diamond dust or ice fog.' 'Just like raindrops scatter light into rainbows, the crystals of ice can reflect and refract light, acting as mirrors or prisms depending on the shape of the crystal and the incident angle of the light.' Schneider said he was skiing down the mount when he looked behind towards the top of the mountain and saw the stunning event forming.

Michael Schneider used just an iPhone 11 and snapped a stunning image the moment the moment ice crystals froze midair, creating a perfect 'halo' around the sun. The optical phenomenon, which is actually known as a 22° halo, occurs when light interacts with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. He said that 'I quickly realized that a halo was developing in the backlight to the Sun, initially very inconspicuous until this light phenomenon increased incredibly,' Schneider said in comments obtained by SWNS. 'I was fascinated by the two rings around the Sun and the many light reflections.' 'The sun had been struggling through the last snow clouds for about an hour,' Schneider explained on his blog.
