Sun Dog, Rockne Krebs, 1976
Solar and laser installations for the U.S. Bicentennial Expo Science and Technology, the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FL.
In 1976 Sun Dog was the first work of art ever commissioned by the
National Endowment for the Arts.
Sun dogs are a member of a large family of halos, created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sun dogs appear as two subtly colored patches of light approximately 22° to the left and right of the Sun.
