Sundog. The optical atmospheric phenomenon known as parhelia or more commonly as sundog
The optical atmospheric phenomenon known as parhelia or more commonly as sundog. Sundogs are luminous and sometimes colourful areas which appear on both sides of the sun and at the same elevation in the sky as the sun. They are caused by the refraction of sunlight in hexagonal ice crystals present in the atmosphere

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of a sundog, an optical atmospheric phenomenon also known as parhelia. Sundogs are luminous and vibrant areas that appear on both sides of the sun, at the same elevation in the sky. Created by the refraction of sunlight through hexagonal ice crystals present in our atmosphere, they offer a mesmerizing display of colors. In this image captured by Science Photo Library, we witness nature's artistic prowess as it paints the sky with ethereal hues. The sundog stands proudly beside its celestial counterpart, casting a radiant glow against the backdrop of clear blue skies. Its vivid colors - ranging from soft pastels to intense fiery tones - create a striking contrast against the serene canvas above. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how intricately connected our climate and weather systems are to these awe-inspiring phenomena. Meteorology enthusiasts and scientists alike find themselves captivated by such atmospheric effects that remind us of Earth's ever-changing dynamics. Science Photo Library has masterfully immortalized this natural wonder for all to admire and appreciate. Through their lens, they have allowed us to marvel at one small yet extraordinary facet of our planet's vast repertoire: an optical phenomenon that reminds us just how magnificent our world truly is.
