'Angel in the Sky': Rare Natural Phenomenon Captured on Photo in UK
Known as a Brocken bow or mountain spectre, this natural phenomenon is formed when a large shadow of an observer is cast onto a cloud or mist.
Lee Howdle, 33, had been walking in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, England, UK, when he noticed a rare weather phenomenon that appeared as a ghostly 'angel in the sky' surrounded by a rainbow-like halo.
Called a Brocken Spectre, this effect occurs when a person who observes it stands above the surface of a cloud, while the sun is behind them.
Lee captured that special moment on camera, and the image has been widely shared online since then.
