A Sun Pillar

COSMIC MESSAGE

Sun pillars are columns of light that appear above or below the sun, typically at sunrise or sunset. They are formed when sunlight reflects off flat, hexagonal ice crystals in the atmosphere. These crystals act like tiny mirrors, aligning as they fall and creating this striking optical phenomenon. It is a beautiful example of light interacting with Earth's atmosphere.
