Check out this incredible moment an unusual atmospheric effect makes it appear as though there are two suns setting over the mountains of Virginia, USA.
Cale Nester, from Colorado Springs, captured the breathtaking scene while visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
The video begins with a close-up of a lichen-covered rock before panning out to reveal rolling green hills stretching beneath a dramatic cloud-filled sky.
High above the landscape, a striking optical illusion appears to split the setting sun into two glowing orange orbs, creating the appearance of a rare “double sunset.”
According to Cale, the smaller of the two glowing spots is the actual sun, while the larger one is caused by sunlight filtering through layers of clouds in the atmosphere.
Viewers were left puzzled by the phenomenon in the comments.
One wrote: “That's just China's homemade sun, forget bout it.”
Another added: “How is that possible.”
