I am an Australian merchant naval officer and in the southern ocean we see some spectacular sights, but on 22 June 2014 at sunset I saw a phenomenon that I have rarely seen. Rays of light were emanating from the horizon at 180 degrees from the setting sun (see photo). Can anyone explain this quirk of nature?
