Dazzling 'ring around the sun' seen across New Hampshire

In all parts of the region Sunday afternoon, people saw a glowing ring around the sun.

Between 1 and 3 p.m., dozens of pictures were posted to social media from the seacoast to the Monadnock Region.

This is known as a 'sun halo' and occurs when sunlight passes through ice crystals high in the sky. The light is refracted by the ice crystals, and its straight path is bent in a 22 degree angle.

Southeastern Queensland residents treated to spectacular halo around the moon

South Burnett residents were treated to a spectacular sight on Monday night, with a halo forming around the moon.

Professor Michael Drinkwater from the University of Queensland said the phenomenon was created by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. "They're reflecting or bending the light from the moon in our atmosphere," Prof Drinkwater said.

Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist David Bernard said the cool temperatures on the ground had no effect on the phenomenon, as it is always cold in the upper atmosphere. "We saw Cirrus clouds around Kingaroy, they're very high clouds," he said. "There are some remnants in the sky at the moment.

"What that can do is make the sun or the moon appear to have a halo around it, as long as it is not too thick to block out the light."

Oops - Polar ice not receding after all?

NASA satellite measurements show polar ice caps

NASA satellite measurements show the polar ice caps have not retreated at all.

In fact it may be standing at its greatest extent in at least 97 years. Al Gore predicted that the Arctic ice cap could completely disappear by 2014.

However, new data released by NASA reveals that the Earth's polar ice caps have not receded at all since satellite measurements began in 1979.

Considering that the late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive at that time than they had been since at least the 1920s.

This indicates that not only is polar ice not receding, it is now quite possibly at its greatest extent in at least 97 years.

California's endless winter: 8 feet of snow remains on the ground in June

Mammoth Mountain

It's an endless winter in the West.

Snow from the barrage of storms that pounded the western mountains over the winter is still on the ground. Many mountains in the Rockies, Sierra and Cascades are packed with at least 8 feet of snow, the National Weather Service said, creating a dream summer for skiers and snowboarders.

The Mammoth Mountain ski area in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., is seeing its "best spring conditions in decades ... and will be operating DAILY into August for one of our longest seasons in history," the resort said on its website. "When will this endless winter end? We don't have that answer yet, but we do know that the skiing and riding is all-time right now."

The snowpack throughout the Sierra rivals, and in places exceeds, records set during the massive winter of 1982-83. As of June 6, the amount of snow on the ground in the central Sierra region was twice as much as usual, marking its biggest June snowpack in decades, the California Department of Water Resources said.

Two people were killed in a wild elephant attack in the Tanzania central region of Singida on Monday, police said.

Debora Magiligimba, Singida Regional Police Commander, said that a group of 32 elephants stormed the remote village of Musimi in Ikungi District, killing two farmers.

She said the incident occurred on Monday morning around 10 a.m.

The situation caused mayhem in the village as most people were puzzled to learn that the largest mammals were in the village, the regional police chief said.

Magiligimba further said the elephants might have strayed from either Maswa Game Reserve or Kigosi and Kizigo Game Reserves.

Figure 1: F10.7 Flux 2014 – 2017

The F10.7 flux shows that over the last three and a half years the Sun has gone from solar maximum through a bounded decline to the current stage of the trail to minimum. Solar minimum is likely to be still three years away.

Comment: While activists scream bloody murder over any confrontation to the doctrine of global warming, they should obviously be much more concerned with the very real impending challenges of global cooling!

Arctic Sea Ice Expanded in May - and in the unlikely place of Barents Sea

Light blue line shows 2017 ice extent

As of May 15, sea ice in the Barents Sea was growing like crazy. "Something surprising is happening with Arctic ice," wrote Ron Clutz. "It is May and ice should be melting, but instead it is growing and in the unlikely place of Barents Sea." "In recent days 2017 NH ice extents have grown way above average." The ice is refusing to leave Newfoundland, says Clutz. And instead of backing down in the Barents Sea, it is increasing. See map showing ice growth.

Shark attacks spearfisherman off Boca Chica Key, Florida; captured on video

A spearfisherman wearing a head camera captured the intense moment an 8-foot reef shark attacked him and took a bite out of his leg Sunday near Middle Samo Reef off Boca Chica in the Florida Keys.

The unidentified spearfisherman posted video of the incident on his YouTube Channel called Over the Edge on Tuesday and wrote, "this clearly could have been much worse." Warning for a couple of expletives at the end and the wound itself:

The spearfisherman said the shark came out of nowhere. While holding a black grouper he had speared, the spearfisherman appeared to point at the shark at the 14-second mark. Fifteen seconds later the shark was near the surface and in clear view in the video.

"He first went at my dive buddy Justyn but immediately turned toward me," the victim wrote. "He first bit my left fin then took a chunk out of the right one before biting my leg and cutting the speargun line.

Great Lakes' water levels way above normal, Lake Erie inches away from record high

Lake Erie's water levels are the highest they've been since 1998, and will remain 4 to 9 inches above normal through November.

The latest reading measured just 7.32 inches below the all-time record high set in 1986. Within the next week, the level could increase to just 6 inches below that record.

The high water is due to the recent heavy rain and months of snow melt surging into the lake. In May, Lake Erie received 150 percent of its typical rainfall, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Some locals have complained about the rising tides along beaches and piers, but no physical damage has been reported along the Erie coastline.

The rest of the Great Lakes are also higher than normal.
