Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fata Morgana of the ocean waves and the sun glitter. Here's what Dr. Andy Young said about the mirage:
"This display certainly counts as a Fata Morgana -- it produces quasi-architectural details, and it appears to show objects in a region where there are none. The visibility of the dispersion here indicates how far off your horizon (on top of the miraged zone) really was, thanks to the super-refraction.Sure enough: green upper edges and red lower ones -- just like the Sun itself, or any other white-light source seen through enough dispersive atmosphere."
