      Shown above is a  cloud corona spotted on a spring morning in the   
       Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. Coronae are formed when   
      cloud droplets diffract incoming light from the Sun or Moon, which   
      produces a colorful region of light  interference. Typically, the   
      most vividly colored coronae are produced by tiny cloud droplets that   
      are uniform in size. Remember to always  take safety precautions   
      when viewing the Sun. Photo taken on March 15, 2022.
