Frost in Belarus brings halos and light pillars
When the temperature drops below -20°C, the air becomes crystal clear, and optical phenomena begin to appear: halos form around the sun and moon, while vertical light beams create light pillars resembling spotlights. These auroras occur due to the direction and absorption of light by an icy crystalline medium. Photographers in Belarus note that this year's severe frost has brought particularly vivid and photogenic displays.
Context
A halo is the dispersion of light in ice crystals, while light pillars are associated with the refraction and reflection of light. Such phenomena most often appear at temperatures below -20°C.
Summary:
In Belarus, halos and light pillars are observed during severe frost due to ice crystals in the air.
