Not an arcus, but what looks to be a series of Stratocumulus volutus. Nice find nonetheless!
Arcus is a supplementary feature attached to a strong convective cloud (Cumulonimbus or possibly a strong Cumulus). This isn’t the case here.
I post pictures with my other account @Deme@lemmy.world

Close, but this is in fact the circumhorizontal arc. It’s very similar to the cza, but the refractions happen in the opposite order. The cha occurs below the sun when the sun is high, the cza occurs high above the sun (near the zenith) when the sun is low.
Nice pictures!
Yes, but was this the bullet that hit him (so picture taken after he was hit), or a previous shot that missed?
Spectacular crepuscular rays!
Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.
Not refraction, but diffraction and interference. The droplets (or ice particles or in some cases even pollen) get so small that light stops behaving like rays at those scales.
This is the 22° halo. A Corona is an entirely different phenomenon caused by diffraction and interference of light around tiny water or ice particles, or other such particles of similar size. Halos on the other hand are formed by refraction. Here’s another great resource about coronae (and pretty much every other atmospheric optical phenomenon out there).
You’re correct about halo phenomena being caused by ice crystals. As such, they are most often observed when there’s Cirrostratus in the sky, and that in turn is often the result of an incoming warm front. The Cirrostratus may start to thicken into Altostratus and Nimbostratus, so overcast and rainy would be the safest bet.
That is a beast!
Also a bit of mammatus there on the underside of the incus.
That’s a lot of dead trees :(
Nice pic tho
A problem of definitions. The word ‘liberal’ has a whole bunch of meanings depending on who you ask. Someone farther on the left usually uses the term to describe people who claim to support freedoms and rights for everyone, but only as long as they themselves don’t have to sacrifice a thing. People who go out to riot and get arrested for it definitely fall outside of that group.
Liberals don’t know how to organize precisely because the Democratic party dominates the elections. No need to organize when the organization already exists. All they need to do is to “vote blue no matter who”.
So the lack of proof is the proof? Bro you have schizophrenia.
