  1. Auras and Glories in Nature, the Laboratory and in Art In the 1990s I collected beautiful images of atmospheric glories and auras on the Internet, images that I currently appear unable to recover the source of. I add these images to this slide series for your viewing pleasure and if you know the source, please let me know so that I can refer to it.

  2. Auras and aureoles seen in transmission against the sun or the moon through monodisperse droplet clouds Also visit: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/

  3. If you know the source of this photograph, please let me know so that I can refer to it. Aureole in clouds

  4. Aureole with poorly developed corona If you know the source of this photograph, please let me know so that I can refer to it.

  5. Minnaert: “Near the moon there is a blueish border, which transcends into a yellowish white, and this again in its perimeter has a brownish edge.” Aureole

  6. Aura around the moon: handheld exposure time 1 second, photographed 15 november 1986

  23. The glory And the Brocken spectre

  24. When observing one’s sun-shadow on a monodisperse micro-droplet fog cloud, these droplets reflect light and turn into lighting rings through the phenomenon of surface waves.

  40. Artificial auras Monodisperse distributions of particles: Steam Micro-rings

  41. Set-up for photography of coronas in a cloud of steam. A slit was mounted on the kettle to create a thin steam film.

  42. Aura seen through a cloud of steam against a white light point source

  43. H.C. Bryant and N. Jarmie, The Glory, Scientific American, July 1974: 241 circles, randomly drawn on paper, and reduced to a graphical negative with lighting rings. Image of HeNe laser point source photographed via the negative.

  44. I repeated the aura/glory experiment with a white light point source. This is a detail of one page A4 with circles I drew with 2 mm diameter

  45. This is the full page A4

  46. Negative of the A4 page

  47. six negatives mounted together

  48. 4 x six A4 pages reduced to 60 x 60 mm (20 x reduction) Total: 65.000 micro-circles of 100 m diameter
