... 2015 December 15 . Colorful Arcs over Buenos Aires . ... Explanation: What are those colorful arcs in the sky? Like rainbows that are caused by rain, arcs of sunlight broken up into component colors can also result when ice crystals floating in Earth's atmosphere act together as a gigantic prism . The top color arc is more typical as it is part of the 22 degree halo surrounding the Sun when hexagonal ice crystals refract sunlight between two of the six sides. ... About APOD | ...

... The Magnetic Sun . ... Galileo had guessed they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, obscuring some of its light. ... It turned out that the Sun has a polar field somewhat like the Earth's, but that it reverses its polarity during each 11-year cycle. ... Sunspot fields were evidently produced by electric currents, and it was well known that such currents could be generated by a " dynamo process ," by the motion of an electric conductor (e.g. the flow of solar plasma) through a magnetic...

This is a color composite image made by Karen Gloria at Hopkins Observatory using a 6-inch refractor and a 512x512 element CCD detector. This is the famous Trifid Nebula, often photographed. It is a nice illustration of the combined effections of ionization and scattering caused by the large yield of blue and UV photons from newly formed massive stars.
