Description: Explains how pillars form, with many diagrams.
Weather Doctor's Weather Eyes - Light Pillars Ice crystals form in a wide variety of shapes and sizes: stars, needles, columns and plates. When bright light passes from the sun, moon or an artificial light source through a portion of the sky containing a concentration of ice crystals, magical apparitions often appear. The crystals focus, scatter, bend, split and reflect the light rays into a kaleidoscope of optical phenomena: arcs, glories, halos, pillars and sun dogs.
