1886 Nature 8 Apr. 535/2 On Thursday, April 1, a solar halo with parhelia was seen here... There was the large halo commonly seen, in addition to which a luminous ring passing through the sun encircled the sky, everywhere of the same altitude above the horizon, forming a small circle of the sphere taking the zenith as pole. On this, the parhelic circle, and outside of the halo by about 5°, a mock sun was seen both on the eastern and western sides.

1918 Science 15 Feb. 171/1 As the sun's altitude increased the parhelic circle gradually extended until it reached nearly around the horizon.

1977 Science 28 Jan. 365 (caption) Also shown is the parhelic arc, a parhelion, and a trace of the circumzenithal arc.

2003 Irish Times (Nexis) 27 Oct. 20 It has been suggested that Constantine's legendary cross may have comprised a sun pillar and a small segment of a parhelic circle.
