Abstract

When light from the sun reflects off the external faces of airborne ice crystals, patterns of light may appear in the sky. The parhelic circle and sun pillar are two specific examples. In this paper we present a discussion of the light pillars that are produced when ice crystals are illuminated by nearby light sources.
