Witnesses were amazed to see 7 ‘suns’ glowing in the sky, creating a stunning and mysterious optical illusion.
Recently, people were left astonished witnessing a rare and puzzling sight in the sky.
They saw seven glowing orbs that appeared to be suns.
This unusual phenomenon captivated observers and sparked curiosity worldwide.
Residents in Chengdu, China were left in awe earlier this month when they witnessed seven suns shining brightly in the sky.
Witnesses are mind-blown after spotting mysterious phenomenon 7 ‘suns’ glowing in the sky
The footage shows a row of 7 distinct suns lined up next to each other, with varying degrees of intensity.
Social media users quickly shared their theories on what could have caused this strange phenomenon.
Some joked that it was a sign of ” Earth having astigmatism”, while others speculated that it resulted from a “magnetic field glitch” causing parallel universes to become visible.
One commenter even quipped that it was evidence of the “cosmic apocalypse” due to China’s ongoing air pollution issues.
However, the explanation for this optical illusion is much more grounded in science.
What is phenomenon 7 ‘suns’?
Experts explain that the seven ‘suns’ were not real celestial bodies.
Instead, they were virtual images created by the layered glass of the hospital window through which the video was filmed.
As sunlight refracts and bends as it passes through the different panes of glass, it produces these mirror-like reflections that appear as distinct suns in the sky.
This type of optical effect is not entirely uncommon, though the appearance of seven separate suns is quite rare.
Similar phenomena, such as sun dogs or sun halos, are sometimes seen when light interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere.
But the Chengdu incident is unique in the sheer number of “suns” visible.
Despite the scientific explanation, the sight was no less mesmerizing for those who witnessed it.
Ms. Wang, the videographer, noted that the trippy, otherworldly display captivated onlookers for about a minute.
Experts in atmospheric science have explained that while the appearance of multiple suns is unusual, it is not harmful or dangerous.
Furthermore, the phenomenon does not have any impact on the environment or weather.
Social media reactions
The images quickly spread on Chinese social media, sparking wonder and imagination among users.
The past seven kingdoms represents it, one user said.
They can make all the excuses they want, they all lie anyway. If you read the Bible you will know the signs.
For those who don’t just read Revelations, the second user commented.
Only God knows the truth we all are just guessing, the third user wrote.
