CREPUSCULAR RAYS FROM BACKLIGHT It turns out that rays from backlit sunlight are called anticrepuscular rays. I have seen rays forming pyramid crepusculars in the sky when cloud groups are more angular and lineal when backlit from the Sun hits through. These three images following were grabbed from this APOD site and show radians, striations, etc, but do not illustrate prisms or shinplasters. A cyclonnic object is studied here. A related page looks at incises.

PRISMS IN GALAXIES Prisms in galaxies are probably backlit - look to a cloudy sky any day and with filtered glass such as sunglasses or through the dark windshield portion of your car, see backlit bright prismatic effects from the Sun streaming through cloud patterns, many of these backlits will seem decidedly galactic including cyclonnic cloud swirls around the Sun. Below, galactic prisms are featured - no photos or images of Sun backlit prismatics are available in GIC in that no camera has ever been on hand when a striking Sun prismatic has appeared in the sky, and none have ever appeared in print or the internet that can be useful as illustrations.

What is seen (original)
what wasn't seen (enhancements)







Enhancements
have revealed two
components of interest -
a dynamo motor thrusts from
the right helm ending abruptly in
dark space, and a lateral slash or jet
of bright clumps crosses the top to the left

A STUDY OF DARK/LIGHT IMAGE AREAS, AND PRISMATIC REFRACTIONS

Image rotation
shows cyclonnic motions
(swirls) in numerous diffuse ways
around the dynamo. The lateral jet (now down
the right image-edge), though hard to see without
will power, seems more to be an irregular
edge to a galaxy




A large
size vertical
view in mono shows more
of the trail of roiled turbulence
up the right edge. As well, vertical strings
made of stars shoot in parallel out through the dynamo
into space in the picture's bottom left. As well, many small
rosettes made of stars pepper the Lmc face, and horizontal
lines some made of stars in long strings, are in the
enhancement. The vertical roil down the right
edge is actually made of a string of
small rosettes that converge
in size from larger to
smaller in the
image bottom




   
   

Some
of the more
charasmatic prismatic
rosettes are highlighted in blue tones

DARK/LIGHT - AN EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON IS HIDING LIGHT

The
dark/light
phenomenon is really
there, all images of the Lmc
show it to one degree or another.
The Tarantula Nebula is the spider
shaped white clump above right

NUMEROUS COHERENT SMALL RADIAL PATTERNS MADE OF STARS, SOME SEEMING TO BE STRAIGHT EDGES OF HEXAGRAMS, FILL THE AREA

Dark/light
straight edges.
Long lines of sharply
contrasting medias, are noticable




These
next items are
are called shinplasters
and are featured at this Lmc page

A shin
plaster
rosette is
revealed in these
particular enhancements
immediately above, the rosette is
six sided and sits settled into the
left hand. In no way perfect,
nevertheless, there it is





Another
shinplaster
rosette cluster, this
time two rosettes partially merged.
A similar configuration has been
spotted in a hot star field
in the Milky Way

PRISMATIC REFRACTIONS

Prisms
of refractions
in galaxies are not so
extraordinary, not as if hand made
by mighty migrating Egyptian engineers
building pyramids of cream puff from
galaxy matter. Clouds on Earth,
layered certain ways, become
highly precisely prismatic
when sunlight shines
through at certain
angles. You
all have
seen
prismatics
in concentric
radiant patterns in the
skies at one time or another in your life

DIFFRACTION PATTERNS IN A STAR FIELD PRISMATIC REFRACTIONS IN STAR FIELD NGC 4214

Prismatic formations are also seen in a Hubble Heritage image of Ngc 4214

Concentric
prismatic refractions
some straight edge, and circular small
dark/light lens, create a most striking celestial image








PRISMATIC REFRACTIONS IN STAR FIELD NGC 4214

Original - a composite by astronomers

This
seems to
be one of those
instances where an image
is posted by professional astronomers
then soon after is suddenly withdrawn. The above
image is clearly slugged 'Hubble Heritage' in black
letters down its right border but the Hubble Heritage
site (March 20/2000) shows no sign of the image.
If I got it there, and it is still there,
I could not find it today,
March 20/2000.
A large image
without
prismatic
closeups was
posted to the Heritage
site embargoed until January 6/2000

Wait
a minute,
oh the humility,
I take that last paragraph
back. I got stubborn after writing it
and went back into searching APOD tried AURA
ooops then the Hubble STScI site, then the Ngc 4214
posting, then spotted a small letter link at the bottom
of the page it got me into other stuff that looked like
a student's home page tried several links there and
all of a sudden luck struck - up came the image
well down the page at this
Hubble Heritage page

CONCENTRIC CIRCULAR PYRAMID STRUCTURES IN GALAXY NGC 253

Hubble's

Ngc 253 has pyramid

PRISMATIC CIRCULAR ROUNDS IN TRIANGULUM GALAXY

This circular round is found in a major irregular (kinked and wrinkled) arm. The kinks and wrinkles are due to collision, perhaps with Andromeda

Another
circular round
is next, at the top
right of the Triangulum master
image and shown here at maximum possible
enhanced resolution, there does not seem to be
any more media containing the round's
information in the photo


More on the Triangulum galaxy is here.

Click here for large Triangulum original.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is not prism effects seen in some galaxies not unlike the nearby animation (double negative intended).
