Talk:Antisolar point

Incorrect Article Title

This article is wrong. The anthelic point is not the same as the antisolar point. The antisolar point is the point opposite the sun. While the sun is above the horizon this point is marked by the shadow of the observing object and is below the horizon. The anthelic point however is the same latitude as the sun. While the sun is above the horizon, the anthelic point is opposite the sun and the same latitude above the horizon. In otherwords, the antisolar point and the anthelic point are to be found opposite the sun and above and below the horizon at any point in time.

Do you think this article is too technical? Rcw258 (talk) 22:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I noticed this as well, and edited the article to add this information, plus sources to back it up. Aeluwas (talk) 15:28, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Need Wikipedia article covering all atmospheric light phenomena

I saw outstanding example of an anti-solar pillar. I tried to find out what it was called and it took me forever to find it. Apparently, it must be pretty rare. Sun pillars are talked about all over the place, but anti-solar pillars are not. There is a Wikipedia article titled "Atmospheric Optics" but it is not complete and doesn't descible antisolar pillars. There should be a single Wikipedia article that summarizes all atmospheric light phenomenon.
