Do you live somewhere where it's really cold? Typically it happens when it's very cold and the air is very clear. </p><p>Another similar phenomenon is a "sun pillar". Search for pictures of those, they're pretty amazing! Of course, they're only common in sub-zero temperatures, like 20 below! </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.
