#viral | Rare 'Two Suns' Phenomenon and Ice Pillars Adorn Russian Sky A rare optical phenomenon known as a "sun dog" or the "two suns" effect has been observed over several regions of Russia. A resident of Sakhalin Island documented a striking scene showing what appeared to be a second sun in the sky.This spectacle is attributed to the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, which creates this astonishing visual effect.In other areas such as Kursk and Tyumen, bright light pillars were seen in the sky. This phenomenon results from severe frost and the formation of ice crystals that reflect light vertically, creating an exceptional winter scene.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
