I read about a fascinating atmospheric phenomena today that I was unaware of - Fata Morgana
The link is from Wikipedia and start off by saying: A Fata Morgana is an unusual and complex form of mirage, a form of superior mirage, which is seen in a narrow band right above the horizon. It is an Italian phrase derived from the vulgar Latin for "fairy" and the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay, from a belief that the mirage, often seen in the Strait of Messina, were fairy castles in the air or false land designed to lure sailors to their death created by her witchcraft.
