ปรากฏการณ์พระอาทิตย์ 5 ดวง เหตุการณ์ลี้ลับในประวัติศาสตร์โลก
Summary
Three or five suns in the sky is a rare natural phenomenon, seldom seen in Thailand because it needs cold air.
It resembles a solar halo, with two or four additional images of the sun appearing alongside.
Western tradition calls it a sun dog and read it as an omen of great change, and it appears in the historical record repeatedly.
Key points
There is a complete physical explanation
Ice crystals in the atmosphere refract light at fixed angles — predictable and repeatable.
Rarity is why it became an omen
A phenomenon most people never see will be read as a message from above.
The historical records make it checkable
Where the date was written down, modern meteorologists can reconstruct the conditions.
Omen and event are usually paired afterwards
The link between a sighting and a great event is generally written once both have happened.
