On April 10th, in the morning from 7 to 9 o'clock, we witnessed the first "Dragon Year, Dragon Month, Dragon Day, Dragon Hour" of this year.
This fascinating occurrence is marked using the traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle and zodiac signs to denote the year, month, day, and hour. The terms "Dragon Month," "Dragon Day," and "Dragon Hour" correspond to the month of Chen, the day of Chen, and the hour of Chen, respectively.
Interestingly, precisely at noon on the Dragon Year, Dragon Month, Dragon Day, the sky over Shenzhen witnessed a massive solar halo, prompting locals to grab their phones and capture the moment.
Some netizens even captured the spectacular scene of an airplane crossing through the halo, adding to the awe-inspiring sight.
Reportedly, a solar halo, also known as a circular rainbow, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon formed when sunlight passes through cirrostratus clouds and is refracted or reflected by ice crystals.
When light enters the ice crystals in the cirrostratus clouds, it undergoes two refractions and disperses into various colors in different directions.
Solar halos can to some extent serve as a precursor to weather changes, with their appearance possibly indicating impending cloudiness or rainfall.
