Cirrus Radiatus have parallel bands that, by optical illusion, appear to converge on a horizon point or, when the bands cross the sky entirely, to two opposite points of the horizon, called "radiation points". This feature occurs most often in Cirrus fibratus, but can also occur in other types of Cirrus, and in other clouds as well.
