A Sun Pillar At Twilight
On 04/07/2026 08:05 pm by Cecille Kennedy | Depoe Bay, Oregon
An orange pink sun pillar appeared up above where the sun had just set. Sun pillars are optical illusions that form when the sun is low on the horizon, creating a vertical beam. The pillars are caused by sunlight reflecting off plate-shaped ice crystals suspended in cold, high-level clouds.
