Summer Theme (May 20th to August 20th)

Green, Blue

Introducing our Rainbow Color series (but backwards)! 5th issue edition!

As an optical phenomenon, the circumzenithal arc looks similar to our regular rainbow, but a better description of it would be a type of halo. Often, it is referred to as “a smile in the sky,” and is typically refracted sunlight through ice crystals.

“Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.”

–Virginia Woolf, Orlando
