Video scene 7 sun in Chengdu sky, Chinawidely discussed by netizens and star watchers in China. The video also went viral on social media (social media).

In the video that circulates, you can see the seven suns lined up side by side and they have different intensities.

Reported New York PostSaturday (24/8/2024), the video was recorded earlier this month by a woman at a hospital in Chengdu. The septet or seven suns was recorded by a videographer identified as Wang.

Wang said the audience was mesmerized by the stunning scene, which lasted about a minute and could be seen from different angles, according to reports Jam Press.

However, this meteorological anomaly is actually an optical illusion caused by light bouncing through a special medium – in this case, the laminated glass of a hospital window. The seven suns are virtual images created by each mirror.

The video was taken on August 18. The video maker, a resident of Chengdu, described seeing the phenomenon from different angles, even through glass. The “unusual sight” that lasted about a minute made many viewers catch the event.

Reported Dimsum Daily Hong KongVice President of the Sichuan Non-Professional Astronomical Society, Zeng Yang, said the phenomenon is a common optical illusion caused by light refraction and reflection from laminated glass.

“Each additional layer of glass creates another virtual image,” Zeng explained. “Sometimes, even with the same pane of glass, the amount of virtual image can vary depending on the viewing angle.”

The report notes that some of the sun in the video appears directly and appears less, features consistent with reflection and refraction of light creating the virtual image.
