According to folklore, the full moon last night called "Snow Moon". However, when the Moon rose over lake superior, one of the Great lakes in North America, it was more like molten lava. Thomas Spence of Tofte, Minnesota, took a picture of the fantastic landscape.

According to him, there was a large atmospheric distortion. A scattering of ice and open water in the foreground made the scene even more beautiful.

This phenomenon of "inferior Mirage", caused by a layer of relatively warm air over the surface of the lake. The temperature gradient is warmer air near open water and colder above it, the created inverted image of the moon below her. Both images have acquired a red tint in the light filter of the lower atmosphere and merged in the molten form.

Jules Verne was called a Mirage "Etruscan vase." He is also known as a Mirage "omega" because of the similarity with the last letter of the Greek alphabet.
