  • Sunset with parhelia or Sun Dog. Mishawaka, Indiana this evening at about 6:30 Eastern.<br /> <br /> From Wikipedia: "A sun dog or sundog (scientific name parhelion, plural parhelia, from Greek parēlion (παρήλιον) from παρά (beside) + ἥλιος (sun), "beside the sun"; also called a mock sun or a phantom sun) is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots of light in the sky, often on a luminous ring or halo on either side of the sun.<br /> Sundogs may appear as a colored patch of light to the left or right of the sun, 22° distant and at the same distance above the horizon as the sun, and in ice halos. They can be seen anywhere in the world during any season, but they are not always obvious or bright. Sundogs are best seen and are most conspicuous when the sun is low."<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog</a><br /> <br /> Thanks to +Melaney Gabris for pointing this out to me.
  • I can feel it coming in the air tonight....<br /> <br /> Ice crystals in the upper atmosphere cause light to refract. With the moon, this manifests as a ring around the moon. With the sun it causes Sun Dogs or Parhelia. That bright spot at about 8 o'clock is Jupiter.

  • Composite shot of the Perseids meteor shower on August 12, 2012. The orientation is a bit odd because it's a fisheye lens pointed straight up in the sky. The 180-degree field of view shows the treeline in the upper right along with a distant shore and Chicago lights in the lower left.
  • There were a few stars out that night....
