Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Un certain nombre de phénomènes lumineux, tels que les halos, les parhélies, le cercle parhélique et l'anthélie, paraissent dus à des aiguilles de glace flottant dans l'atmosphère ou descendant lentement. L'anthélie peut être aussi accompagnée de plusieurs images du soleil, faibles et diffuses, qu'on nomme paranthélies. Selon une hypothèse couramment admise, l'anthélie serait due à la réflexion des rayons solaires sur des lamelles hexagonales, tombant verticalement un angle en bas, c'est-à-dire de manière que l'axe cristallographique soit horizontal. 3, record 1, French, - anth%C3%A9lie
