THERE WERE TWO SUNS.

Right next to each other.

None of them was the moon because:

China has 2 suns?? Is it really hot there then XD

It's probably just the moon or another planet :/

@icymuffin

I don't remember where the article is... on the internet or in the science magazines... xD
There was an article I read months ago about multiple suns in the sky & how it's most likely an illusion and all.

Saw an internet article. I couldn't really understand it though because of all the science talk XD

'that an unusually thick patch of atmosphere wandered in front of the sun to create the unusual effect. '

That explains some parts for seeing 2 suns I suppose.

Let me add more information 😉

None of the suns were fuzzy.

One was shining brightly, and one was a circle hidden behind a cloud. Idk which was the real one, since it's not really a rare occurence to see the sun behind a cloud blocking its light.

They were side-by-side.

The oddest thing was that when I moved from my spot, one of the suns moved an unnaturally far distance away from the other sun.

Still cool though. I think one sun vanished later... I didn't check... :/
