miracles of the Sun

The "Miracle of the Sun" occurred on October 13, 1917, in Fatima, Portugal, when thousands of people witnessed the sun seeming to dance, change colors, or zigzag in the sky, even appearing to plunge toward the earth. Scientifically, these phenomena are often attributed to optical effects caused by atmospheric conditions, such as glasses, fog, or sunspots, combined with psychological factors like mass expectation. While many believe it to be a supernatural miracle, scientific explanations suggest it was an unusual but natural visual phenomenon, fostered by the crowd's anticipation and the sun's position relative to observers.
