Mock Mirage Sunspots and Green Flashes. At sunset on January 30, I recorded mock mirage sunset and green flashes on Mount Hehuan at an altitude of 3,000 meters. In the mock mirage sunset formed by multiple temperature inversion layers on the high mountain, the sun has various wonderful changes. Because sunspots are very active recently, obvious mock mirage sunspots have also formed! I judged the positions of at least 3 layers of inversion layers through the positions of 3 groups of mock mirage sunspots, which are marked by horizontal dotted lines in the figure. When the top of the sun falls into the inversion layer, it produces a very obvious green flash. The video link of mock mirage sunset is as follows: https://youtu.be/AIcMZ4wjuzo In the film, you can see the sun changing layer by layer, and green flashes emerge from the top from time to time. Mock mirage sunspots are also forming at several locations. It is really an amazing mock mirage sunset!
