Have you ever seen something in the sky you couldn’t explain? You may not have heard of atmospheric optics, but you’ve likely seen it in action. Rainbows, halos, mirages, and auroras are just a few of the phenomena Laura Ainslie of the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society will cover in her talk, Rainbows, Cloud Coronas, and the Heiligenschein: The Beauty of Atmospheric Optics. Inspired by a mysterious sighting she experienced in 1983, Laura will share what to look for and how to better understand these natural displays. Come learn what to look for and be amazed.
