Celestial Phenomena in 16th-Century Germany

The first image is clearly a sundog but what about the drawing on Wikipedia article about the 1561 Nuremberg phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1561_celestial_phenomenon_over...

It really look like space battle

I'll admit I've never seen "track" used to mean "write" before.

There are times in human history where there was more intense "space weather" in the solar system. These events were much more spectacular -- is in a much greater spectacle -- than the most spectacular events we know today which are eclipses.

In more ancient history there was obsessive worship of the planets on every habitable continent. Today we have a more scientific explanation for what was happening then, even if we don't see the same spectacles today.
