Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Sundog / Parhelia A phenomenon seen when fine ice crystals in the upper atmosphere refracts the sun's rays. A halo (parhelic circle) forms at 22º around the sun when it's close to the horizon on crisp evenings (just visible in this photograph) and two "mock suns" appear on either side of the sun at 90º and 270º, often being seen as two tiny rainbows.
The sun in this picture is way overexposed causing it to seem bloated (and actually damaged the camera's CCD while taking this picture!) |
