Abstract
Rarefied clouds of dust and gas, such as occur in comets for example, may exhibit under certain conditions of illumination a wide variety of bright morphological features which are also characteristic of optical imaging. Very similar effects are observed to occur in the phenomena of atmospheric optics, with respect to both the morphology of the light patterns which are produced and their temporal behavior.
