Two Suns Shined Simultaneously in Harbin, China

    Two suns shine in Harbin, China

    Two suns shined simultaneously in the sky of the northeastern city of Harbin, China, with the real sun brighter than the mock one (left) on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 14.

    The two sun phenomenon began at 3 pm local time and that within 40 minutes the mock sun, to the south of the normal sun, had became dimmer and dimmer as it receded into a piece of rosy cloud and finally disappeared.

    The special phenomenon, according to scientists, is a solar halo, or "mock sun", which results from the refraction of ice crystal particles contained in clouds.

    The addition of a mock sun is a common sight in polar regions but very rare in other places.
