      Summary Authors:  Chih-lung Lin;  Jim Foster   
      The colorful ringed structured featured above shows a  glory and   
       Brocken Spectre. It was observed via a  drone from above a   
      mountainous area near Miaoli, Taiwan and was only visible when the Sun   
      was directly behind the drone, which was looking downward into a fog   
      bank. The "spectre" in the middle of the rings, best seen in the bottom   
      photo, is the drone's shadow. This phenomenon appears when sunlight is   
       diffracted by minute  cloud droplets. Note that I wasn’t able to   
      detect this with the naked eye as I was below the layer of clouds/fog.
