The unexpected clear morning across the area brought about a phenomenon that is not seen too often. The sun had two very pronounced rainbow around each side as it rose above the horizon. They are know as sunsun dogdogs.
Sundogs are commonly made by the refraction of light from plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals in high and cold cirrus clouds or, during very cold weather, these ice crystals are called diamond dust, and drift in the air at low levels. These crystals act as prisms, bending the light rays passing through them with a minimum deflection of 22°. If the crystals are randomly oriented, a complete ring around the sun is seen — a halo. But often, as the crystals sink through the air, they become vertically aligned, so sunlight is refracted horizontally — in this case, sundogs are seen.
The sundog was very pronounced through out the morning in Hutchinson.
