Double Sunrise Seen in Canada, Us and Europe; Partial Solar Eclipse Creates Rare Dawn Illusion (Watch)

Canada, Us and Europe experienced a rare celestial illusion in during sunrise. The early rise visuals mesmerized citizens as they saw a rare double sunrise or devil sunrise caused by a partial solar eclipse on March 29 occurring right at dawn. This phenomenon occurred as the moon began to partially obscure the sun just as it peeked over the horizon, briefly dimming the early morning light. Moments later, as the eclipse progressed and the Sun emerged further, it appeared to rise again creating the illusion of two separate sunrises. This is not just visually stunning, but a perfect alignment of timing, location, and cosmic choreography.

This is very rare because they require a partial eclipse to lineup precisely with the local tie of sunrise which varies across the regions. With the clear weather and a horizon-view making the effect even more dramatic.

As per the reports this phenomenon can happen again on September 21st as their will be yet another partial solar eclipse visible from parts of the Southern Hemisphere, including South America, southern Africa, and portions of Antarctica. While this won’t be visible from Canada, sky watchers in those regions might get their own chance at a double sunrise, if the timing aligns just right.

What is a partial solar eclipse? 

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, partially blocking out the sun's light. By contrast, in a total solar eclipse the moon completely blocks the sun's light
