Amazing sunset mirage with a green flash

You may learn about mirages here Here is what Dr. Young writes about the display: “Lovely! It’s not only beautiful pictorially, but has some nice examples of scattering within the duct: the sky beside the Sun shows a faint trace of an aureole in the zones where the disk is seen, but not in the completely dark strips parallel to the horizon. You should certainly point this video out to Siebren, who is still very interested in Novaya Zemlya displays. Another interesting feature is the strength of the waves in the middle of the ducted image, while the top is relatively much more calm.”
