Details:
I have seen quite a few Novaya Zemlya sunsets but the one I saw on March 17 was special. The sunset was delayed for 14 minutes!
At times, it felt as the universe stands still.Thanks to the Novaya Zemlya effect, this pancaked sun stayed visible until it was geometrically 3.4° below the horizon. I was essentially looking at an image lifted nearly 7 solar diameters from "underground," which likely would have stayed visible even longer if atmospheric extinction hadn't finally cut the feed. I sent the video to Dr. Andrew Young and he responded: “ What a great example!
well. All those multiple images of the entire disk of the Sun are SO
impressive! “
