Description

Rare atmospheric optical phenomenon in which the sky appears a bright white spot — "second sun", located at the same height above the horizon, but the opposite of the last. The appearance anthelia caused by the refraction and internal reflection of light in a suspension of smallest ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sometimes antihelium called the faint halo surrounding the shadow of the object cast on the cloud layer or fog.

A statement similar to Parghelia, observed the moon, called porcelana.
