☀️🌈 Did you spot the ring around the Sun today?

This stunning phenomenon is called a “22-degree halo” and forms when sunlight passes through tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere. The result? A nearly perfect rainbow-like circle surrounding the Sun!

Captured right here at the New England Air Museum. ✈️

Have you ever seen a solar halo before?

📸 We’d love to see it! Share your photos and stories of the most incredible weather phenomena you’ve witnessed, halos, sundogs, lightning, mammatus clouds, rainbows, and everything in between, in the comments below!!!

Last night, eight lucky guests enjoyed an extraordinary six-course tasting menu generously donated by NEAM’s very own, Chef Jeffrey Daigneau of Lattitude Restaurant. This exclusive experience was auctioned at our Annual Gala and gave guests the rare opportunity to dine among historic aircraft that are not typically open to the public. The evening was truly unforgettable, featuring incredible cuisine in a one-of-a-kind setting. Thank you, Chef, for your generosity and continued support of the museum! ✈️
