A “triple sun” was spotted in Northeast China, above Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, on January 8th 2011. Two smaller suns were visible on either side of the main sun, each one-tenth in size of the main sun, with a circular and rainbow-like halo around the main sun and a strong light on top.
Experts say that such a phenomenon is called Phantom Suns, because the sun is shadowed by two smaller twins.
Chinese culture believes that a “triple sun” is a manifestation of significant social phenomena.
