There were many signs in the same year... In Kiev, everyone saw that the Sun was a month, and yellow, green, black, blue, blue pillars appeared on its sides. Fire from heaven is scary as a big cloud over the Lybed River. there was great fear and awe, confusing and terrifying people who feared for their lives and decided that the end of the world was coming. ... But the big cloud passed without doing anything wrong, because people were praying to the Lord God.

Original news

Того же лета была знаменитая многа... В Киеве всем зрящим бысть Солнце месяцем, и явишаяся оба пол его столпы черлены, желтя, зелены, черны, голубы, сини, та же сидне огнь с небесе страшен зело аки облак велик над ручей Лыбеди, и бысть на всех страх и трепет велий, и смутишася и ужасошася людие, и отчаяшася живота, мнящие яко скончание мира приде; очнь же хожаху сюду с яростияю велиею, в толстоже велице, яко облак велий, и приде через град весь без пакости, людие обо горко с плачем и со слезами возопиша со Господу Богу

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

Eclipse solar/lunar

An Eclipse is an astronomical situation where one celestial body blocks the light from another celestial body. The most famous lunar and solar eclipses.
