Nature delivered a jaw-dropping light show yesterday morning as three glowing 'suns' appeared over Genhe City in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region! 🌈 The surreal spectacle – straight out of a sci-fi flick – occurred when sunlight refracted through ice crystals in the -40°C (-40°F) air, creating bright sundogs flanking the real sun.
🧊 Scientists call this atmospheric magic a 'parhelion,' but locals are calling it winter's best free ticket. Genhe's extreme cold (nicknamed 'China's Icebox' ❄️) makes it prime territory for these icy light shows. Pro tip for travelers: Pack your thermal cameras this season!
📸 Social media exploded with #TripleSun selfies, while astronomy buffs geeked out about the hexagonal ice crystals required for the effect. Want to catch nature's next light show? Follow local weather alerts – winter's just getting started! ⛄️
