If you think about it, every star that you can see on the night sky is someone/something's sun.

So there really is billions of suns that we can see every night.
 
i think its due to the reflection of light or something?

u can see the rays at the sides curved to the middle part
 
Yeah, you can see that the light is bended in a circle, most likely caused by the lens.

Can't open the link, but the effect is called sundogs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog
Unless it's a camera fault

this means that it isn't 3 suns in the sky but a reflection

Sorry to nitpick, but it's only about three thousand. :smile:
 
To drag this discussion away from physics into the occult, the ancient mystics believed in 3 suns: the first represents the material world governed by the gnostic demiurgus (in Christianity the holy spirit), the second the light of intellect which is governed by Lucifer (the evils of intellect without faith), and the third, and greatest, sun represents the supreme light of faith, and is governed by the Christ.

After viewing an effect such as this it is easy to see where the ancients got these "3 suns" they were speculating about.
