Halo, pillar and sun dogs - Jan.27, 2004
Submitted by:
Stan Richard at Tue Feb 3 22:00:01 2004 UTC
A beautiful halo surrounds the sun and sun dogs fire at 22° on each
side, pillar extending upwards. Atmospheric conditions were perfect for
this rare optical illusion- clear skies, below zero temperatures and ice
crystals floating in the atmosphere from the previous day's snowfall. As
the sun rose higher, the sun dogs were as almost as bright as the sun
itself. Photo taken with Canon EOS300D. See more at
www.nightskyevents.com/halo.htm Also Atmospheric Optics website
