Another Astronomer's enemy...

Thousands of tiny bits of mollecular mass have distorted this image till the observer is seeing triple!!! Ice crystals make this effect pretty but are a common enemy to astronomers, as they distort the crisp images of space objects. The sun pillars are a pure atmospheric effect that happens only twice a year on cold nights in Wisconson (so there is something in Wisconsin).
