Sundog. View of a sundog (parhelia) in the Mojave Desert sky. This optical atmospheric effect is a luminous and sometimes colourful area which appears on both sides of the Sun. It is at the same elevation in the sky as the Sun. Sundogs are caused by the refraction of sunlight in hexagonal ice crystals present in the atmosphere. Photographed in California, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing natural phenomenon known as a sundog, captured in the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert sky in California, USA. The image reveals a luminous and vibrant area on both sides of the Sun, creating an ethereal spectacle that leaves viewers in awe. Sundogs, also referred to as parhelia, occur when sunlight is refracted by hexagonal ice crystals present in the atmosphere. These crystals act like prisms, bending and dispersing light to form this striking optical effect. Remarkably, sundogs are positioned at the same elevation as the Sun itself. The Mojave Desert's arid climate provides an ideal setting for witnessing such atmospheric marvels. As rays of sunlight pass through these ice crystals suspended high above the desert floor, they create a breathtaking display of colors and radiance against an expansive blue sky backdrop. This photograph not only captures nature's artistry but also serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse weather patterns and meteorological wonders. It invites us to appreciate Earth's intricate systems and phenomena that often go unnoticed amidst our busy lives. Science Photo Library has expertly immortalized this extraordinary moment for all to admire and ponder upon. This image stands testament to their dedication in capturing scientific beauty while offering us glimpses into worlds beyond our everyday experiences – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye within our incredible universe.
