<p class="title">A rainbow-coloured ring around the Sun (solar disc) was noticed in Shivamogga on Monday at noon, as a result of raincloud movement across the face of the Sun. </p>.<p class="bodytext">The multicoloured ring was noticed and photographed by the city's people at about 12.15 pm. The rainbow ring around solar disc was visible in the sky till almost 1.25 pm.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Thrilled by the celestial marvel, hundreds of Shivamogga denizens photographed it on their smartphones, and the picture went viral on social media. </p>.<p class="bodytext">It is conjectured that the VIBGYOR ( Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green,Yellow, Orange, Red) -coloured, circular, rainbow-like, halo around the Sun was caused by rainclouds passing in front of it. The rainclouds acted as a prism and split the seven colours of sunlight into a mesmerising rainbow. </p>.<p class="bodytext">It is learnt that such a '22 degree' halo is a rare occurance. It is visible only at places where the weather conditions exist; to cause it and is not visible everywhere. The local weather conditions determine the sighting and Shivamogga just got lucky on Monday!</p>
