Two bright ‘suns’ seemingly appear in sky over China in rare phenomenon
Two bright yellow “suns” seemingly appeared in the sky over southwestern China, baffling locals.
A cyclist from Chengdu, Sichuan province, recorded footage of the puzzling sight on Tuesday 18 July.
Both “suns” in the video seem to have a perfectly round shape and a vibrant yellow colour, with the second one being slightly smaller than the first one and sitting directly underneath.
Although this is not the first time a double sun image has been spotted, scientists have still a lot to discover about the peculiar phenomenon, which astronomers suspect is most likely a case of a rare mirage.
