The angle between a pair of internally reflected images is 1/3 the angle between the reflecting plates. My calculation was that the apparent angle between the images is twice the angle between the plates, not 1/3, but regardless, there have been enough photos posted through double pane windows to s...

Problems with the atmospheric phenomenon explanation: 1) An explanation is needed for the horizontal separation. 2) The vase foot on the suns is clearly duplicated. The separation of images is after that optical phenomenon. Problems with the multiple glass pane explanation: 1) The differential angle...

I'm a flight instructor in gliders and airplanes. I see a simple sunset-illuminated cloud, photographed from above. It doesn't look much like virga to me, as I would expect to see a denser rain-producing cloud above the virga. I have seen clouds dissipate before the rain/virga, leaving the virga beh...
