There are a lot of confused reactions, but here's a link that connects these images back to 2016. Apparently a dog walker captured these pictures and meteorologists called it a rare phenomenon. Another article has also written about these pictures that were captured four years ago. So, don't worry, these are not recent pictures and there is no truth to any of the world ending or world renewing possibilities.
Fact check
Sun with wings was spotted in Egypt recently.
These are old pictures from the UK from 2016.
