Lapsor

Lapsor is a term that refers to a rare optical phenomenon where a bright, diffuse light appears at the observer's horizon, often in the evening or at dawn. The exact causes of this phenomenon are still not fully understood, making it a topic of ongoing scientific investigation.

The name Lapsor was coined from the Latin words "lapis," meaning stone, and "solver," meaning solver or explainer. This term is thought to represent the apparent bending of light around the edge of the Earth, similar to the way a stone might bend the flow of water around it.

During a Lapsor event, a bright, pulsating light can be seen on the horizon, often accompanied by a distinct color separation effect. Observers have reported seeing shafts of light extending from the sky to the horizon, appearing as a bright, glowy line. These lights are thought to be a result of atmospheric interactions with the sun's rays, but more research is needed to confirm this theory.

Sightings of Lapsor have been reported in various parts of the world, often occurring at specific latitudes and close to the time of sunrise or sunset. While the phenomenon itself may be relatively rare, reports of Lapsor have been estimated to occur with a certain frequency in certain geographical areas.

Researchers continue to study Lapsor to gain a better understanding of the underlying optical processes. As more data is collected and analyzed, the scientific community is expected to gain further insights into the causes and characteristics of this rare atmospheric phenomenon.
