In class Friday Cinda told my teacher and I to look out the window. She had just received a text from our friend Tuya that there were three suns in the sky. Curious, we looked out our windows and saw this:
Walking home from school we saw many Mongolians outside looking at the sun and taking pictures- it was as much a surprise to them as to us. As far as I can figure it is caused by the same phenomena that causes a rainbow, the refraction of light through the water particles. However in this case there was a ground fog and ice particles which caused the refraction and full halo or “sun dog” effect. You can see more of the rainbow effect on the shot below.
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1
