A recent viral video from Chengdu, China, captured a stunning optical illusion where seven 'suns' appeared in the sky, sparking excitement and curiosity among residents. The phenomenon, which lasted about a minute, was attributed to light refracting through layered glass, as explained by experts from the Sichuan Society for Amateur Astronomy. Some observers likened the sight to a 'sun dog' or parhelion, a meteorological occurrence caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere, but the glass theory seems more plausible given the context. Social media users humorously invoked the Chinese myth of Hou Yi, the archer who shot down multiple suns, to explain the bizarre sight. This incident highlights the blend of natural wonder and cultural mythology in response to extraordinary celestial events. While captivating, experts assure that this phenomenon is harmless and merely an optical illusion.
