A sun pillar is created when millions of falling ice crystals reflect the sun's rays, creating a column of light. They often occur at sunset or sunrise.Ice crystals associated with cirrus clouds, diamond dust and ice fog create the effect known as sun dogs. Sun dogs happen when the sun is low and the crystals refract or reflect the sun's rays.As with Aurora Borealis, Aurora Australis, the southern lights seen from southern Australia, are displayed during strong geomagnetic events.
