3.My beloved children, I want to tell you that on the day after the departure of our brothers Kuntz and Michel, on a Friday, we saw three suns in the sky for a good long time, about an hour, as well as two rainbows.
These had their backs turned toward each other, almost touching in the middle, and their ends pointed away from each other. And this I, Jakob, saw with my own eyes, and many brothers and sisters saw it with me.
After a while the two suns and rainbows disappeared, and only the one sun remained. Even though the other two suns were not as bright as the one, they were clearly visible.
Which natural phenomenon is being talked about?

• X is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger—20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation. While most asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, X objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.

12. • In May 2010, an astronomical event gained widespread popularity. Here are
some statements regarding the same:
• This is not the first time this has happened, X goes missing every 10 years or so. In fact, it's disappeared about 18 times since the turn of the 19th century.
• It's possible, that some 'ammonia cirrus' has formed on top of X, hiding it from view.
• It's like a missing tooth. There is disorder on Jupiter — and we just don't know why.
