A World Replete. The bubble as double agent, a symbol of existential uncertainty and a trope of playfulness.

A contender in this round of #MinCup23, #Calcite comes in several forms, including #Optical Calcite, sometimes called #Iceland Spar or #Iceland Crystal, the strong #birefringence properties are on display in this #photograph as the #crystal creates a small #rainbow-like formation on the right side. This property has made it a candidate for the somewhat mysterious #SunStone from #Viking legend, able to find the Sun despite overcast conditions by looking for the double #refraction.
This form of calcite often cleaves into parallelepiped (parallelogram extended into 3D) sections, such as the one pictured.

The attraction of refraction can be a distraction.The work in progress continues. A few frames from the epic moonrise last Thursday night (31st August). As the moon rose over the southern ocean, Earth's atmosphere beguiled and fascinated. Light from the moon journeyed a complex path to my eyes and it was amazing! #moon #refraction #astronomy #NewZealand

Picture of the moon rising over the southern ocean. Taken at 6:09:57 on August 31st when the moon's calculated altitude was 4 arc minutes (according to my planetarium software!) Obviously atmospheric refraction is in play! Look at the wobbly moon....! #moon #refraction #beauty #NewZealand

This is a work in progress. Some images of the moonrise on 31st August when the moon was very low (minus half a degree in the first image!) The images show the effect of atmospheric refraction on the lunar image. #moon #refraction #astronomy

LITERALLY THE BEST BEST MOONRISE EVER. The refraction tonight was to die for. The moon looked like a mushroom at one stage! WOW! #moon #beauty #refraction

Absolutely incredible moonrise for the blue moon/supermoon combo tonight. I went out to Cape Saunders on the Otago Peninsula and boy was I glad I did! Here's a picture taken at 6:08:49 when technically the moon was at very low altitude (much less than a degree) and WOW OH WOW look at the refraction effects as the moon rises over the Ocean. #bluemoon #supermoon #moon #astronomy #refraction #NewZealand

A wet #crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) #empetrumnigrum #berry #plant with #drops and #refraction in the mountains in Norway. I was on a trip with two of my siblings Anne @anneaustenaa her dog @aslan.blanco and Bjørn @bjorntau and came across one. They don't taste very good but you can eat them :-)

I left my 2:1 Laowa macro lens in the car so I had to use a 1:1 Sony macro lens. I used a Sony A7C camera.

@Jeramee Thank you. The other one has the same #refraction materials I think, but it is harder to tell it is glassy, unless you look at the floor #reflection.

These were experimental to get a feel for the software, workflow, materials, & render times. It’s interesting the green #glow isn’t reflected on the floor. I think I was attempting simulated #UraniumGlass.

#Suzanne is #Blender’s test model similar to the Utah Teapot.

Filing this one under #urbanDetails and #physics.

I *think* those are #diffraction colours, but I'm not 100% confident they're not a #refraction thing.

Just realised a photo of the reflections in an equally scratched bus shelter windows ought to be able to settle the question...

The sun shines through a scratched plastic wall at a bus shelter. The light has arranged itself into rings and rays, with subtle rainbow colours.

@sunofseldo Sure, the duration of #daylight is the same for all points on your #latitude, but the precise times vary with #longitude.
What allowance do you make for #refraction?

A #macro #photography image of a #specimen of #crystalline #calcite, #crystal #CaCO3, has unique and dramatic #optical properties. Calcite demonstrates strong #bifrengence, doubled #refraction of #light.
The crystal is sitting on a flat light source.

A macro photograph of a calcite crystal on a light table. The crystal refracts the light, creating rainbow patters across parts of the surface. Flaws in the crystal are also highlighted.

I've been busy on the blog posts today, I was inspired by a photographic prompt to fully explore "light" and share my favourite shots:

Another Sun halo today! 62°F feels like Spring!🤔
Previous Halo was three days ago and it was 22°F. Big temperature fluctuations!

Sun halo phenomena occurs when sunlight is refracted by hexagonal atmospheric ice crystals.

Under exceptionnal conditions, one can see a primary and secondaries #rainbows, separated by Alexander's dark band (nothing to do with me).

This #APOD #photography is a supernumerary #rainbow. No dark band in between the rainbows. The extra rainbows in this #picture are not due to #refraction but instead #interference. Same as looking to a compact disk.
