An optical phenomenon known as a halo made it seem like there were three suns in the skies of Russia's Yamal, however, this mysterious marvel is not rare in the region, a hydrometeorology curator, Artem Koshkin, told Sputnik.

According to him, halos and similar phenomena occur due to a combination of factors, but mainly depend on the condensation of little particles in the atmosphere.
