This is a weather phenomena which occurs when the air is so cold that atmospheric humidity freezes creating ice crystals that reflect sunlight creating bright spots of light in the sky. They usually occur in pairs to the left and right side of the sun. This phenomena occurs when the temperature is below zero on the Fahrenheit scale.
So colder then -17° C. Thats really cold.
