1670 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 5 1072 The Anthelion, observed by M. Hevelius Sept. 6, 1661, in which there were two coloured Arches of a circle.

1686 J. Goad Astro-meteorologica i. vii. 23 The Air is heated beyond the power of a single Reflexion, as if there were some Anthelii, one or two invisible Suns, as some have imagined Antiselenae.

1762 Philos. Trans. 1761 (Royal Soc.) 52 94 A very distinguishable Mock-Sun, opposite to the true one, which I take to have been an Anthelion.

1787 P. Maty Gen. Index Philos. Trans. 26 Observation on an anthelium seen at Witemburg.

1853 D. Brewster Treat. Optics (new ed.) xliv. 391 In the majority of cases the anthelion accompanies the parhelic circle, which then makes the entire circuit of the horizon.

1883 Proc. Royal Irish Acad.: Sci. 3 404 Bright specks of halo appearing at a greater distance from the sun than the parhelia..are called anthelia.

1913 Pop. Sci. Monthly Mar. 275 This, the preferable, use of the name is absolutely ignored in English dictionaries—which unfortunately confuse the anthelion with the glory.

1995 D. K. Lynch & W. Livingston Color & Light Nature v. 174/1 Computer simulations of the anthelion suggest that it may not exist as a separate halo but is in reality simply the accumulation of light from intersecting anthelic arcs.

2. A luminous ring or nimbus surrounding a shadow projected by the sun on to a surface such as a cloud or fog bank; = glory n. 9c. Now rare.

1823 W. Scoresby Jrnl. Voy. Northern Whale-fishery x. 275 The interior circle..is so small, that, being highly luminous, it forms a brilliant anthelion, or glory, round the spectrum of the observer.

1859 J. E. Tennent Ceylon I. i. ii. 72 Anthelia..may probably have suggested to the early painters the idea of the glory surrounding the heads of beatified saints.

1931 Illustr. London News 4 July 7/1 This remarkable atmospheric phenomenon is described as ‘Fracto-stratus cloud with an aeroplane shadow surrounded by a “Glory” or anthelion’.

1964 N. Macmillan Great Flights & Air Adventures (1965) ii. 21 They saw the shadow of their balloon cast on the silver sheet [of cloud]..ringed by its rainbow-hued anthelion, which the aeronauts of the time called ‘a glory’.

1888 Nature 23 Feb. 391/2 At 5h. 20m. p.m. I saw an anthelic fog bow, white, with the outer edge reddish, the inner edge bluish.

1920 W. J. Humphreys Physics of Air v. 521 Similar arcs also pass through the sun..and, though independent, appear to combine with the anthelic arcs into a single set of curves.

1978 Sci. Amer. (U.K. ed.) Apr. 150/2 Anthelic arcs appear frequently but attempts to explain them have not fully succeeded.
