Circumzenithal arc (upside rainbow above the telescope) as seen from Fan Mountain Observatory this morning as the sun was just coming up. These types of arcs are refracted through ice crystals in the clouds and are sometimes called "a smile in the sky".

A true source of inspiration during my time at @UVaAstro. What a beautiful article by Steve Balbus.
RIP John Hawley - Steve Balbus is right about John’s widespread influence on younger astrophysicists, which includes much of my earlier career. nature.com/articles/s41550-0…
