You've all seen rainbows on those days where it's raining and the sun's out at the same time. But what about those times when you see a rainbow-like halo around the sun or moon?

Those clouds are made of tiny ice crystals, which will refract the sunlight much like a prism will and voila! You have a rainbow halo around the sun.

Don Jensen had a neat idea when the Northern Lights came out in early June: Use Mt. Rainier as a tall dividing line to showcase how the city lights of the Seattle metro area can interfere with viewing the aurora.

But more than that, Jensen wondered if our city really needs to be so bright.

His 17-second video was captured the night of June 6 into the morning of June 7 and shows roughly four hours of night activity over our tallest volcano.
