Incredible ‘red devil horns’ sunrise photos captured during rare solar eclipse mirage over the ocean
THESE incredible images appear to show giant devil horns rising over the Persian Gulf during a solar eclipse. A photographer waited in just the right place to snap the rare spectacle as the sun was partially blocked by the moon at dawn on Boxing Day morning.
Elias Chasiotis had planned on capturing the solar eclipse while on holiday in Al Wakrah Qatar. And he knew because it came at sunrise he had a chance to capture an even rare phenomenon – a solar eclipse combined with the light-bending mirage effects seen near the surface of the ocean.
He told BoredPanda: “I hoped that optical effects like inferior mirage would be visible and I was lucky enough to capture them.” This type of mirage over the ocean is called Fata Morgana and occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through air layers of different temperatures. It is named after the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay because it was once believed the mirages they were fairy castle created by her witchcraft to lure sailors to their death. Elias added: “I was worried that nothing would come out of the eclipse. “However, when the sun finally began to rise, it looked like two separate pieces, some sort of red horns piercing the sea.

Just was looking at this exact one as well, biggest question in my mind is, how did that reporter know what he was looking at enough to know where to be, follow the light and watch it ignite and then blow up?
Yes this one was in Qatar…thought it was interesting considering the current news and the myth behind this mirage.
Thanks will do now..
Not sure a flight manifest has been released yet..looking for it.
Agreed…where have we seen that. kek
No manifest made public yet anon..It could be possible that word of mouth is publishing that information.
