Details:
In the seconds prior to the start of the sunset last night, an apparent reflection of the sun appeared in a thermal layer just above the horizon – I’ve never seen this before. Subsequent to an otherwise quite normal sunset, a faint green flash appeared. I’ve never seen this before either, lucky me! I packed my gear and was on my way home when the sun ”re-appeared” at a different location as compared to where it went down – a bit further north. It looked like ”a stack of hot pancakes”, which I’ve seen before – a phenomenon which I learned here on Spaceweather is caused by so-called temperature inversions. I believe what I saw was a mock-mirage of the sun caused by these temperature inversions? More images can be found on https://liselottekahns.com/
