This insane three-sun phenomenon looks like an interdimensional portal opening up over the ski resort of Dombay, Russia on February 8, 2016.
But the weirdest to me is that the sundogs are not surrounding the real sun but appear around its reflection on the ice nuclei. That’s actually a real three-sun phenomenon. Out of this world.
The sun is behind and reflects on the ice crystals.
Sundogs appear around the reflected sun creating a real three-sun phenomenon.
The Dombay display probably came from ice crystals produced by ski-slope snow blowers, which emit near optically perfect halo forming crystals.
That’s actually a real three-sun phenomenon. Awesome.
Sun dogs are a mystery I really don’t believe the explanation. It is seen all around the world. I took a photo of one last year in the Caribbean. It really looks more like a giant planet behind the sun.
