Crepuscular Rays Observed over Milan, Italy

Photographer: Egidio Vergani
Summary Authors: Egidio Vergani; Jim Foster

Shown above are conspicuous crepuscular rays streaming through gaps in the cumulus clouds at the bottom of the photo. The darkened lanes are shadows -- cloud turrets are blocking the sunlight from the observer's view. Though these rays are actually parallel, they appear to converge at the Sun. Photo taken from Milan, Italy, on May 12, 2025.

Photo Details: Panasonic Fz10002 camera; f.6/3; ISO 80; 1/400 second exposure.
