Mirage over Paris,France,seen between 3 and 4 in the morning in December 1869,historical artwork. This type of mirage,where the virtual object is seen above the real one,occurs when a layer of warm air lies above a cold layer of air. The warm air has a higher refractive index,and this bends light back towards the ground. Engraving from The Atmosphere (1873) by Camille Flammarion | |
