Continuous change of the Omega Moon inferior mirage
The inferior mirage of celestial bodies rising or falling from the sea level is the most special and beautiful mirage. This is a special phenomenon that occurs when there is a low-density layer of hot air on the surface of the earth or ocean due to refraction. The most common one is the sun’s inferior mirage. The moon’s inferior mirage is not common because it is dark, but if you have the opportunity to see the moon’s inferior mirage, you can just use the terrain and potholes on the moon to confirm the mirage with inverted shape!
The weather was good on November 10th, and I was lucky enough to meet the rare inferior mirage of the sinking moon! When the moon is very close to the sea level, the inverted virtual image below will form and slowly rise and connect with the upright image above to form a rare sight like an Etruscan vase or Omega (Ω) shape !
This combined picture includes the appearance of the lower mirage, the rising, and the connection with the upright image above, like an Etruscan vase. Then the bottleneck of the vase becomes thicker and shorter, and finally only a corner disappears on the sea surface.
