The phenomenon of light pillars is new to me. I only came across it the other day on spaceweather.com but immediately I was intrigued by this. It is a beautiful phenomenon though in many cases is due to the pollution in large cities - for once pollution gives us something rather amazing to see than just destroying it. An excellent photo was posted on spaceweather.com (Image credit: Andrew Eaton, Canada)
