Did anyone else notice that the sun today has a rainbow ring around it? Apparently it's formed by ice crystals, and the light is refracted at a 22 degree angle, like below.

Coworker noticed this walking to the car during lunch. Too much glare to look up but through sunglasses, I saw the same thing you posted. Pretty neat.
