www.weather.gov/arx/why_halos_sundogs_pillars"Sundogs are colored spots of light that develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals. They are located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals are present. The colors usually go from red closest to the sun, out to blue on the outside of the sundog. Sundogs are also known as mock suns or parhelia, which means "with the sun"." My notes: I had found this short video detailing it. Have you seen it before? I haven't but it'd be so interesting to witness.

Steve, Thank you for that one! I found the video from EarthSky when I was browsing there. To me, it looks like 3 suns setting! Wouldn't that be cool to see
