Sundog

January, 2005 :  CIT campus

Sundogs, also called mock suns, are rainbow-colored spots caused by the refraction of sunlight by six-sided ice crystals in the atmosphere. These bright spots form in the solar halo (barely visible in this image) at points that are 22 degrees on either side of the Sun and at the same elevation as the Sun.
