    EPLN photographer Juliana Allen captured a sun dog over Staring Lake Wednesday morning Jan. 19. Also known as a mock sun or parhelion, sun dogs are an atmospheric optical phenomenon appearing in the sky as luminous spots 22° on each side of and at the same elevation as the sun.

    Sun dogs occur when the sun shines through a thin cirrus cloud composed of hexagonal ice crystals.
