Anthelion

Anthelion is a luminous halo or bright spots seen opposite the sun in the sky. The phenomenon of the halo occurs around a shadow projected by the sun onto a fog bank or a cloud. The bright spots on either side of the sun appear due to refraction of sunlight through high density of ice crystals in the earth's atmosphere.
