                   A Double Sunrise from a Partial Eclipse

                  Sun ([5]Sebastia McQueen via SoundCloud)

   Explanation: Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This
   was just the case a few days ago from [6]Les Escoumins, [7]Quebec,
   [8]Canada as our [9]Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it
   was being [10]partially eclipsed by the Moon. The [11]featured video
   shows this unusual double-sunrise in real time and being reflected by
   the [12]St. Lawrence River. Soon after the initial two spots of light
   appear over distant clouds, what appears to be [13]bright horns become
   visible -- which are really just parts of the Sun not being eclipsed.
   Soon, the [14]entire eclipsed Sun is visible above the horizon. In all,
   this broken [15]sunrise took less than two minutes during a [16]partial
   eclipse that lasted many times longer. Although the Moon [17]circles
   the Earth once a month (moon-th), it does not always eclipse [18]the
   Sun because its [19]tilted orbit usually takes it above or below.
