Just passing by and noting that the text here have some overlap with the section at The Brocken. Probably the text there should be moved here and replaced by a link. Thue 21:40, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Glory/Brocken

I don't know much about Brocken spectres, but it seems very closely related to the idea of a glory. This isn't really obvious except the small little link. An explanation of the relationship would be nice if someone understands it better. Timbatron 17:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] glory vs. Heiligenschein

On this page:

"The head of the figure is often surrounded by the glowing halo-like rings of a glory (Heiligenschein), rings of coloured light that appear directly opposite the sun when sunlight is reflected by a cloud of uniformly-sized water droplets."

That sentence appears to equate a glory and a Heiligenschein, which is at odds with the distinction between the two made on the page for Heiligenschein:

"When viewing the Heiligenschein, there are no coloured rings around the shadow of the observer, as in the case of a glory." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.115.235 (talk) 22:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
