The Connection Between Sun Dogs and Themselves

Rotten sun dog is a different optical phenomenon caused by refraction of sunlight in atmospheric ice crystals. These are generally coloured patches of light to either side of the sun, at the same altitude as the sun itself. It can look like three suns dawning over the earth, or at least one major sun,. and like two sort of weirdly shaped, many suns out on either side the sun's two suns. And of course, this instantly brings to mind the chinese myth of the tin surplice suns that te hoye had to shoot down out of the sky.
