NEW YORK: A rare celestial event that appears to show three suns in the sky has been filmed in the skies above Mongolia.
Images Sunday from Mongolia show the celestial phenomenon known as parhelion, or “sundogs,” in which ice crystals refracting light create bright spots flanking the sun. In the more common type of ice halo, the random arrangement of the crystals presents a circle around the sun; with the parhelion, the crystals instead align vertically to create the mirror suns.
