is not Tatooine, a planet in the movie "Star Wars", this can actually happen, and closer than you think. Yes, here on our planet Earth. Sun Dog is a phenomenon known as its Greek name suggests ("To" side; "Helios": sun), an optical phenomenon in which we see more than one sun in the sky. The same occurs when cirrus clouds, clouds that is largely shaped by numerous ice crystals, and distributed in long strips along the sky, refract and reflect sunlight into large halos and giving the illusion of seeing more than one sun in the sky. The following video took place in Shubarkurduk, Kazakhstan. The sundogs were very well received by sailors and travelers of the past, usually, before embarking on his travels, seeking clues in heaven climate (something that has been lost with the arrival of the weather reports). Since cirrus clouds belonging to the Atlas-like group generally indicate good weather.
Actually, sundogs are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views on our planet.
