‘A Glitch in the Matrix’: Viral Video Shows 'Split Sunset' in Florida Sky, Left Netizens in Awe

An optical illusion took place in the sky of Florida and left everyone in awe, looking towards the sky and clicking pictures. The Florida sky was divided into two parts: the left side was golden as the sun was setting down, whereas the right side was dark as someone stopped the rays of the sun from entering that area. The sky looked like someone had drawn a straight line to divide the sky in symmetry. 

This natural phenomenon is called “split sunset," which occurs when the shadow of a large cloud below the horizon stops the sunlight from reaching the clouds closer to the observers standing on the ground. The time and date of the video are unknown. 

Check out the viral video:
