Shafaqna Science: A video capturing a rare celestial phenomenon recently gained global attention after it appeared to show multiple suns in the sky over Chengdu, China. Filmed by a woman named Wang from the 11th floor of a hospital, the footage initially stunned viewers with what seemed like seven suns on the horizon.
The spectacle was widely shared on social media, with some speculating it was caused by a magnetic field glitch or extreme pollution. Others connected it to global warming, while a more accurate explanation was provided by one commenter who identified the effect as an optical illusion due to reflections and refractions in a multi-pane window.
Despite the scientific clarification, some viewers preferred a more mythical interpretation, recalling the Chinese legend of Hou Yi, the “god of archery,” who is said to have saved the earth from being scorched by ten suns.
