It may look like some kind of alien landscape, but this photo shows a super-rare combination of solar phenomena happening right here on Earth.
Photographed in Red River, New Mexico, on January 9, this is one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen.
While it looks photoshopped (or alien), in reality, the combination of arcs and halos is caused by an extremely rare combination of solar phenomena happening all at once.
The image was captured by Joshua Thomas who emailed the US National Weather Service (NWS) in Texas to find out what was going on.
