Presented by John Andrews, New Jersey Astronomical AssociationEverything we see around us is a result of the play of light off of objects. Most of it we simply take for granted. For example, the color of vegetation, and the bright face of the full moon. But there are some atmospheric phenomena which make us stop and stare. The glory of a double rainbow at the end of a rainstorm; the eerie feel of a lunar halo marking the approach of a snowstorm and the colorful patches of light, called sundogs. These are but a few atmospheric optics that we see but don't often understand. This lecture will present a colorful explanation of many of these events.
