In March 2011, almost the entire population in all directions was described with the news of the twin suns. The emergence of the news began when the internet world was shocked by a video showing the existence of twin suns in the Chinese sky.
In the video, it appears that there is one sun that is larger and bright yellow, while the other sun is smaller and orange. The video of the twin suns not only captured the attention of people living in China but also attracted the attention of all residents in all corners of the world.
Are There Really Twin Suns?
When the uproar about this event became a byword in almost every corner of the earth, a science site called Life's Little Mysteries immediately asked the truth about this event directly to an astronomer from the University of Illinois named Jim Kaler.
Allegations of image manipulation using a computer or allegations of camera fraud have surfaced. However, according to Jim Katler, the most likely occurrence of this event is due to the effect of refraction or optical refraction.
If it is as Katler suspected that this event occurred due to optical refraction, then this event is very rare and unique because to this day this is the first time that twin suns have been seen in the sky as happened in the sky of China.
At that time Katler also suspected that there was some kind of atmospheric clump somewhere in the sky that was causing the twin suns to appear. But to be sure about this event, Katler also said that it is the job of the NASA Agency and astronomers to find answers to this phenomenon.
Various Opinions About the Twin Sun Phenomenon
According to Katler, this phenomenon can occur because of a mirage of refraction of sunlight which usually occurs near the horizon, where the air condition in that region is thicker. It could also be that this piece of atmosphere is in front of the sun, creating a special effect that makes the sun look like twins.
Other scientists also have comments. As said by Grant Perry, atmospheric scientist from the University of Wisconsin, who said that this incident was not an ordinary optical phenomenon because it was the first time he had seen such an event.
In fact he suspected that this event was most likely due to the lens. If the camera is moving at the time of shooting, it is likely that the image will also move. In addition, Grant Perry also mentioned the suspicion that there were ice particles in the atmosphere that refracted sunlight at a certain angle, resulting in this event.
Natural phenomena like this have actually been explained scientifically, such as the time of the appearance of the sun dog phenomenon, sunset mirages, sun pillars and the sun halo phenomenon. Unfortunately for this case, there are many presumptions and opinions that could confuse the general public as to why this event could occur.
Twin Suns A Sign of the Apocalypse?
According to Dr. Brad Carter, a Star Wars-style scenario could happen. This Senior Lecturer in Physical Sciences at the University of Southern Queensland explained that there is one star known as Betelgeuse, which is the brightest star whose size continues to shrink. When the star is blown away or in other words thrown from a supernova, then we on Earth can see the event with the twin sun phenomenon.
Carter predicts that the explosion of the unraveling star will occur in 2012. Even the explosion that occurs when the star decomposes will give birth to a neutron star and cause a black hole about one thousand three hundred light years from Earth.
Twin Suns An Amazing Phenomenon
At this time, we are often faced with various natural phenomena that are unique, strange and sometimes make us have to rub our chests. Not only, the phenomenon of the twin suns is quite shocking for the citizens of this world, but there are many other natural phenomena that astonish and invite our admiration.
These natural phenomena are:
This crystal cave phenomenon is found in an old mining area in Chihuahua in the country of Mexico, where in the cave there are crystals that are extraordinarily beautiful and large. This cave is quite phenomenal as well as this event because this Crystal cave is located about a thousand meters below the limestone where the main mine is.
The next phenomenon that shocked the world was when it rained blood in India in the middle of 2001. The cause of the rain of blood is still unknown and has made headlines for various television news and websites on the internet.
The Sundogs phenomenon is one of the phenomena that once shocked the entire population living on earth just like this incident. The Sundogs phenomenon is also called the sun watchdog phenomenon where there is a light appearing on the right and left of the halo, so it looks like there are three or four suns that appear. This phenomenon is almost similar to the phenomenon of the twin suns.
The ice circle or more popularly known as the Ice Circle is a very rare and very rare natural phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs in cold water with a shape like a thin sheet of ice that is perfectly circular. In contrast to the phenomenon of twin suns that occur in space, the phenomenon of one in many occurs in waters, especially in Scandinavia and in North America.
A natural phenomenon that is no less unique than the phenomenon of the twin suns is a phenomenon known as the Red Tides. This phenomenon occurs because of the presence of microorganisms that gather on the coast, where water from estuaries, seas and rivers meet together with algae so that it looks very beautiful purple and red. When compared with twin suns, this one phenomenon is more beautiful and can be logical in our ordinary minds as humans.
This phenomenon is indeed enough to attract the attention of residents around the earth's surface. However, because it is only in the form of photos or videos that cannot be proven true, this phenomenon is quickly forgotten by people. This is very different from the famous phenomenon of The Boulders Moeraki.
The phenomenon of The Boulders Moeraki is in the form of a large rock like a ball that spreads on the sandy beaches. It is believed these stones were formed as a result of sediments on the ancient seabed dating back hundreds of years.
Of the many natural phenomena, this phenomenon is almost like an advertisement that is just passing through. It was shocking and then it was lost because the evidence about the video of this event has not been able to be analyzed and proven by real natural conditions.
In fact, there are many scientists, astronauts, and even researchers waiting for the reappearance of this event to be investigated further in order to find the right theory that can explain the cause of this event.
There are many more natural phenomena that we can find besides those discussed above. We can only be grateful when we can enjoy these natural phenomena as the greatness and glory of God for his various creations.
The natural phenomena that are a sign of the apocalypse. Even that still cannot be proven in real terms, such as the twin sun phenomenon which is said to be a sign of the apocalypse in 2012.
