Millions of tiny ice crystals suspended in the upper atmosphere can produce the optical phenomenon of a solar halo when sunlight passes through them, causing the light to bend into a colorful ring in the sky.

Concerned and amazed citizens spotted the halo in several Mexican cities, most particularly above the capital's most celebrated landmark, the Angel of Independence.

Juan Manuel Caballero, National Weather Service coordinator, stated he had received about 30 telephone calls from persons who thought it was a "bad omen."

"It's very common. The thing is that people never look up," Caballero explained.

See interesting memes people posted about the solar halo on Twitterverse:
