A Strange Sunrise Over Argentina {APOD}
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111010.html



"Why would a rising Sun look so strange? No one is yet sure. What is clear is

5. The bumpy horizon makes me think it's a fata morgana.
And a really wicked one at that. Still not as cool as the floating cities but it's right up there and maybe the tops as far as a spectacular example.
