Details:
As the setting Sun approaches the horizon, the multilayered structure of the atmosphere plays a lot of tricks with its image, depending on its current levels of transparency and stability. In addition, the presence of temperature inversion layers and intervening clouds may also add to severe attenuation and refraction near the horizon, causing the resulting effects to become more intricate and the appearance of the setting Sun even more unusual. The animation shows some of the transient forms acquired by the Sun as it was setting over the sea captured from Saquarema, 80 km east of Rio de Janeiro between 18:58 and 19:03 (GMT-2h) with a Sony DSC-HX300 camera. The images that follow show some of the amazing forms observed for the Sun`s disk.
