      Explanation: Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This   
      was just the case a few days ago from Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada as   
      our Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it was being   
      partially eclipsed by the Moon. The featured video shows this unusual   
      double-sunrise in real time and being reflected by the St. Lawrence   
      River. Soon after the initial two spots of light appear over distant   
      clouds, what appears to be bright horns become visible -- which are   
      really just parts of the Sun not being eclipsed. Soon, the entire   
      eclipsed Sun is visible above the horizon. In all, this broken sunrise   
      took less than two minutes during a partial eclipse that lasted many   
      times longer. Although the Moon circles the Earth once a month   
      (moon-th), it does not always eclipse the Sun because its tilted orbit   
      usually takes it above or below.
