Sky Phenomena – by Mike Frost

---

A few years ago I was looking for a subject to study and lecture on. A friend suggested sky phenomena, as an overlooked branch of physics.

When I started to research the subject, one of the first books I came across was Robert Greenler’s “Rainbows, Haloes and Glories”. This was a perfect choice for me.

• The daytime sky displays a surprising number of diverse, spectacular, and easily observable phenomena.
• Sky phenomena are associated with some extraordinary and outrageous mythology.
• The physics involved is accessible and easily explained.
• Greenler is an inspiring and entertaining writer, who encourages his audience to see world anew.

But best of all … all the illustrations in the book were available as a slide set!

A field guide to the wonderful variety of sky phenomena, illustrated by the slide set accompanying Robert Greenler’s “Rainbows, Haloes and Glories”.
