Experience the breathtaking beauty of a solar parhelion, also known as a sun dog — a rare atmospheric phenomenon where bright spots of light appear on either side of the Sun.
Caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, sun dogs create a magical halo-like effect that has fascinated skywatchers for centuries. This natural spectacle is one of the most beautiful sights in the sky, often seen during cold weather when ice crystals are abundant.
