A fascinating video filmed in a Chinese hospital shows seven suns in the sky. There's no magic or miracle going on; it's just an optical illusion. The video has caught the attention of social media users who are amazed at seeing seven suns in the sky. The video was made by a woman who was filming the setting sun.
However, the camera somehow captured seven suns in the sky, and while it looks like a miracle in the sky, it was actually the result of an optical illusion created by the glass window used for filming.
Light refracting through the window's multi-layered glass created a magical image in the video, which was shot on August 18 from the 11th floor of a hospital in Chengdu, southwestern China's Sichuan province.
In the video, the sun's brightness varies in intensity in each copy. Jam Press reports that the woman who filmed the video is named Wang. Her video has caught people's attention, with everyone who sees the post having to take a second look. Some have even come up with theories about the phenomenon.
“Parallel Universe”, “Sundogs”
One user on Chinese social media platform Weibo suggested that a “glitch” had caused different universes to appear at the same time: “This happened because a glitch in the magnetic field made parallel universes visible,” one person wrote.
Another person put it more lightly, saying: “The space agency has resolved the issue and those responsible have been reprimanded.”
Yet another person wrote to X: “I'm sure you've all seen Two Suns, but have you seen Seven Suns? It was filmed in China. I'm starting to think we've all been duped…”
A user named Sarahh tried to explain why this is a natural phenomenon, writing: “This strange sight is a particularly rare form of parhelia, where 'sun dogs' appear due to atmospheric reflection and refraction, ice crystals, pollution, and other particulates in the atmosphere.”
“Still, we usually see one or two sun dogs. The appearance of seven suns is like something straight out of Shakespeare, a prophecy or a Nicolas Cage movie.”
