EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the rare and breathtaking phenomenon known as the Parhelion of 1708, which was observed in Moscow on the 14th of December that year. The Parhelion, also referred to as a sun halo or a sun dog, is a natural optical effect caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the atmosphere. But the Parhelion of 1708 was no ordinary sun halo. Witnesses in Moscow reported seeing not one, but three suns, each encircled by a brilliant rainbow. This singular event, which has since become a topic of historical interest and scientific intrigue, is believed to have been caused by the refraction of sunlight through hexagonal ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The photograph, taken from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the wonders of the natural world. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this extraordinary phenomenon as it was experienced by those who lived through it. The triple sun, with its over-arching rainbow, is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the universe and the mysteries that continue to unfold in the vast expanse of space. The Parhelion of 1708 is a reminder of the awe-inspiring power of nature and the importance of preserving historical records of such phenomena for future generations. This photograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, serves as a valuable addition to the annals of scientific history and a source of inspiration for those who seek to explore the wonders of the world around us.
