#refraction
What’s happening to this cirrus cloud? Ice crystals are acting like little floating prisms. Known informally as a fire rainbow for its flame-like appearance, a circumhorizon arc appears parallel to the horizon. For a circumhorizontal arc to be visible, the Sun must be at least 58 degrees high in a sky where cirrus clouds present below. The numerous, flat, hexagonal ice-crystals that compose the cirrus cloud must be aligned horizontally to properly refract sunlight in a similar manner. Therefore, circumhorizontal arcs are somewhat unusual to see. The featured fire rainbow was photographed earlier this month near West Virginia, USA.

Just noticed that I forgot to post this! It’s been sitting in draft for ages.
A suuper long time ago @simplecg had a “plant friend” challenge, and I did some concept art of a little plant fairy trapped in its home of amber. When Sketchfab introduced refraction support I found an excuse to bring the piece to completion. :P

Flow Gallleria(#3): Cup of water against a striped background
One interesting variation on the cup of water against an arrow in the background (top gif) is if you replace the arrows with a striped background. This opens the door for some interesting visualizations on refraction as well. Try it out!
