A Sun Pillar over Norway
This image shows a sun pillar over Norway. Sun pillars form when the sun is rising or setting and light reflects off falling ice crystals. These ice crystals are flat, six-sided, and fall from high-level clouds. Air resistance causes them to lie nearly flat as they flutter, creating this column of light.
