Photo courtesy of Werner Elmker This beautiful natural phenomenon where it appears there are three suns in the sky is called a sundog, and one of them was visible in southeast Iowa earlier this month. A sundog occurs when sunlight refracts through icy clouds, creating two false suns on either side of the real sun.
