Sun Dog

Day 47.........Sun dogs typically appear when the sun is low to the horizon, usually just prior to sunset or after sunrise, or during winter months.  This morning it was -33 and the sun was still low in the sky.  The light from the sun was reflecting off the ice crystals that were floating in the atmosphere.  Sun Dogs look like vertical arched rainbows or sun spots that are equidistance (22 degrees) to the right and left of the sun, and at the same elevation as the sun.   It is quite phenomenal what they look like. 

Here is a picture of the sun and half a Sun Dog.
