Before the sky was filled with nature’s own light show(Aurora Borealis), the sun had its own coronal show at sunset.
This is called a Pollen Coronae
Pollen suspended in the air can also cause diffraction of sunlight that produces coronae. Because pollen grains are not always spherical, the resulting pollen coronae often have characteristic elliptic shape and brighter spots in them. They can be seen during blooming season where there is significant source of pollen like forests. They are more easily seen during sunset or sunrise as there is less sun glare and the light path through the pollen laden atmosphere is longer.
