Antisolar point anthelic point, such as the anthelion, Wegener arcs, Tricker arcs and the parhelic circle itself. Antisolar point The antisolar point is the abstract point on the celestial sphere directly opposite of the Sun from an observer's perspective. This means that the antisolar point lies above the horizon when the Sun is below it, and vice versa. On a sunny day, the antisolar point can be easily found; it is located within the shadow of the observer's head. Like the zenith and nadir, the antisolar point is not fixed in three-dimensional space, but is defined relative to the observer. Each observer
Point-to-point (telecommunications) connection that links only two computers or circuits, as opposed to other network topologies such as buses or crossbar switches which can connect many communications devices. "Point-to-point" is sometimes abbreviated as "P2P". This usage of "P2P" is distinct from "P2P" meaning "peer-to-peer" in the context of file sharing networks. A traditional point-to-point data link is a communications medium with exactly two endpoints and no data or packet formatting. The host computers at either end take full responsibility for formatting the data transmitted between them. The connection between the computer and the communications medium was generally implemented through an RS-232 or
