ASTANA. KAZINFORM Residents of Saryozen village in Karaganda region observed three suns which appeared simultaneously in the sky. Scientists say, this rare optical phenomenon is called halo.
A halo may occur around the Sun and the Moon during frosty weather. It is produced by light interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, resulting in a wide variety of colored or white rings, arcs and spots in the sky. Actually, it is a rainbow. Many halos may occur near the Sun or the Moon, while others appear elsewhere or even in the opposite part of the sky.
