The woman who reportedly captured the video, known as Wang, said viewers were transfixed by the surreal display, as many have offered theories about how the phenomenon occurred.
The minute-long video which seemed like a cosmic miracle was actually an optical illusion created by the glass window through which it was filmed.
This is caused by the reflection/refraction in glass in a multi-pane window. Light from the sun bounces between layers causing distinct visual separation of the reflections.
Others argued on Reddit that the fragmented suns were a sign of 'immense pollution' in China and another person wrote: 'The truth about global warming has finally been revealed.'
