Who let the dogs out?  This is a springtime phenomenon of "mock suns" called sun dogs created by ice crystals highin the atmosphere.  If you look closely at Dr. Jeff Kretsch's photo of the RATO tower and just over the roof of the Roll-Top Observatory is a bright spot.  That's a sun dog.  Usually they come in pairs to the left and right of the sun at an angle of 22 degrees and if you look carefully over the trees at right, youll see a faint second sun dog. Sometimes a halo or partial halo can be seen around the sun as well. This photo was taken on March 30, 2021. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog
