In the sky over St. Petersburg ascended the "three Suns"

Frosty morning sky over St. Petersburg met residents a fabulous halo. Thanks to the optical effect of the impression that instead of one Sun rose just three.

Witnesses, admiring a colourful spectacle, began to share their images in social networks. Comments noted beauty and unusual atmospheric phenomena were genuinely happy to see such a miracle, and someone even advised to make a wish.

A halo is an optical phenomenon, when around the light source, such as the Sun or Moon, formed a glowing ring. There are many varieties of halo. But, as a rule, the refraction and reflection of light occurs due to the presence in the upper troposphere ice crystals.

"Triple Sun" could be seen in the city, and in some districts of the Leningrad region. Moreover, before St. Petersburg was enveloped in an incredibly thick fog.
