We see many unbelievable things in our life. Some natural phenomena may seem mysterious but can be explained by science. Now, imagine if you are in the perfect time and place… You can see the rarest events! It is 10 times more amazing if you have a picture as a memory.
Viral Strange has collected 15 pictures of very rare events that have been caught on camera, and you will be astonished!
1. Moonbow
A moonbow can’t be seen by the naked eye in the dark. However, we can see it using a long exposure.
2. Mammatus cloud
Mammatus clouds appear after the strongest storm. This happens because air masses move in different directions.
3. Mirage
A mirage is a trick of the light. It occurs when there is a big difference between the density and the temperature in the air layers.
4. Storm lightning
Volcanic lightning happens during an eruption. It occurs because of the collision between gas and ashes emitted into the air. The phenomenon is very rare.
5. Circumhorizontal arc
A circumhorizontal arc is the result of light refraction, the same as a rainbow. However, there should be some other condition that makes it happen.
6. Lenticular clouds
Lenticular clouds are a unique phenomenon. They don’t move, even if the wind is strong. Some people think that such sky objects might be UFOs.
7. Tornado
A tornado is difficult to catch on camera. However, scientists can’t find its full origins.
8. Kelvin–Helmholtz clouds
Kelvin–Helmholtz clouds or “cloud curls” phenomena look like sea waves. The phenomenon is very rare.
9. Sun eclipse
The annular solar eclipse with a thin ring around the Sun is very rare. The last one was recorded in 1827.
10. Cloud holes
Cloud holes are phenomena that scientists can’t explain. One theory says that when an aircraft is flying through the clouds, some drops of water in the clouds turn into heavy crystals and fall to the ground.
11. Moon dog
Paraselene happens when the Earth satellite produces 2 “twins” on its sides. The Moon should be full, and super bright before it appears to see it.
12. Pearl clouds
These clouds appear at a height of 50,000 feet and a minimum temperature of -78°C.
13. Norwegian spiral anomaly
The Norwegian spiral anomaly happened in the winter of 2009. Scientists say the reason behind it was a failed ballistic missile blast-off.
14. Fire tornado
The fire tornado is the most frightening phenomenon, and it originates from several fire bodies. You can’t stop the spinning hot storm.
15. Sun dogs
The false Sun or Sun dogs are phenomena caused by sunbeams refracted by ice crystals.
