greg d, I totally agree. Frustrating to be as in the dark after the explanation as before it.

Anthelion is a bright spot in the sky that looks like Sun and is at the same height as the Sun but appears opposite it. Meaning- against the Sun.

Took a wild guess and got it correct but even after the explanation, I am still clueless. Here I come Google 😐

I liked the unsimplified answer - I learn much from this “game” and want a detailed answer.

In other words, we are all completely in the dark re this question. Glad to see that so many expressed the same puzzlement.

I’m not going to try to explain the phenomenon of a Brocken Specter. But I’d encourage you to look it up. I’ve seen the phenomenon twice. The first time I had no idea what I was seeing. The second time I knew as I researched it. I can certainly see how someone who saw it without knowing what it was would believe that they were seeing some kind of heavenly vision.

Player #20544813, try googling it. There may be an easier to understand explanation out there. a picture would have given away the answer.

The answer is more difficult to understand than the question. But I guessed right using 50:50 option.
