 World Mysteries: Illusions and Brain Teasers.
Antisolar rays are sometimes seen in the direction opposite the sun, converging to the antisolar point (towards the shadow of your head).
However, perspective causes the rays seemingly to diverge from the sun's position, or, in the case of antisolar rays, converge to the point opposite the sun (antisolar point).
The effect is usually dealt with as if light were rays that literally bend in direction as they pass through the boundary, but in fact the elegant explanation of what happens relies on the wave theory of light.

As for the “green beam” sometimes seen to shoot up from the sunset, I suggest that the modulation of the flash by the waves on the sea, and/or by turbulence in the surface layer, which often produces a “beaded” appearance of the ordinary inferior-mirage flash, might account for the striated or ray-like appearance.

 C.09 What is the Green Flash (or Green Ray)?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
This phenomenon is known as the "green flash" or "green ray." It is not an optical illusion.
The explanation for the green flash is thus, 1) refraction separates the solar images by color; 2) at just the right instant, the red image has set, 3) the yellow image is absorbed; and 4) the blue image is scattered away.
Because the green flash is primarily a refraction effect, it lasts longer and is easier to see from a mountain top than from sea level.
