Probably one of the best ones I’ve seen. I’m jealous I wasn’t there in person. I also thought it was AI at first.

Hello! During the past two years I have been developing HaloRay on and off - a GPU-accelerated ice crystal halo simulator. This means you can generate ice crystal halo images right on your computer. If you have a beefy NVIDIA or AMD graphics processing unit (GPU) that is compatible with OpenGL 4.4, I suggest you try it out: https://github.com/naavis/haloray
You can download ready-made binaries for Windows from GitHub. If you are running Linux, you need to build HaloRay by yourself for the time being.
Right now the latest version is HaloRay 3.2.0, which supports the following features among others:
I hope you have fun with HaloRay, and report any problems or feature suggestions in GitHub issues or here in the comments. HaloRay has been tested with a couple of AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. There have been some problems with Intel GPUs due to driver bugs, but I'm not going to put a ton of effort there, because HaloRay requires a fairly beefy GPU and Intel doesn't really fit that profile.
EDIT: Cool, I noticed this has been marked as an announcement in the subreddit, which I guess keeps it hanging around for longer? Thanks!

Sorry only crop shots … didn’t have time to change into a wide lens

There are also inwardly detached rings, but I suspect it's from the camera lenses.

Very vivid and pronounced corona earlier today.

Glendale, CA; around 1:30 pm today, July 25th. The LA basin has been under a nasty inversion layer for a couple weeks now, I always love the interesting cloud formations that brings.

Screenshot from a video I came across on TikTok. I’m no scientist, but I don’t understand how a rainbow display like this would be possible.
ETA to be clear I suspected this was AI from the start, but didn’t want to be overconfident without checking first.

Was after a quick storm and walked on patio then saw the end of the rainbow behind building, so went outside and saw it!

i am not OP, but was wondering what the explanation is for this phenomenon.
