The unusual phenomenon could be seen by the residents and guests of Moscow on 12 January 2018 — clearly visible light column red hue stood over the city, going to heaven.
After quite a long period, when the sky over Moscow was overcast that day the weather changed and the clouds parted, the sky cleared and it became evident the sun. In the period from 16:00 to 16:45 from the sun came light pole, which was clearly visible to the naked eye.
Light poles often mistaken for mystical manifestations of divine light, and legends about the fiery swords of heaven residents appeared thanks to the amazing natural phenomenon – when the setting or rising luminary illuminates Cirrus clouds, a solar pillar as if it binds them to the earth.
It is a visual atmospheric phenomenon occurs when the reflection of artificial or natural light falling on the faces of the ice crystals contained in the air. A light source located close to the surface or on the surface of the Earth, causing the appearance of the light pillar above the floating crystals.
The light poles look like narrow vertical columns, rising up or dipping down from the light source, especially if this optical effect occurs at night and is caused by exposure to artificial light. The appearance of solar poles under the influence of light coming from the Sun or the moon. The glowing column is seen when light refraction through the crystals, however, depending on the angle, the light pole can be observed both above and below the light source.
A phenomenon that could be observed in Moscow on 12 January, is unusual in that a light pole was wide enough, and the air temperature was only -6 degrees Celsius.
