Subsun A subsun is an optical phenomenon that appears as a bright spot directly below the Sun. It's a type of halo, similar to a sun dog, but formed by reflection off ice crystals rather than refraction.

🇦🇹 A Unique Natural Phenomenon in Austria – Subsun

❄️ This effect resembles a mirror image of the sun and occurs when sunlight is reflected off ice crystals in the atmosphere.

#Subsun

It is indeed so beautiful. #subsun

#subsun phenomena appears when a region of hexagonal ice crystals act as a large mirror, creating a virtual image of the Sun below the horizon. As they fall through the air, the ice forms plate crystals which orient horizontally, i.e., with their hexagonal surfaces parallel to the Earth's surface
