Default Re: More on the 2 suns phenomenon

Sun Dogs, Mock Suns, False Suns....

A bright spot of light that sometimes appears on either side of the Sun, the same distance above the horizon as the Sun.
The effects result from the refraction by sunlight through small, flat, hexagonal-shaped ice crystals falling through the air such that their flat faces are oriented nearly horizontally.





Or maybe some are becoming Jedi Masters?
