Breathtaking mirage in the deserts of Xinjiang

The breathtaking mirage of a lake surface appeared Sunday in the vast desert of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Tourists who witnessed the natural event were awed.

I've seen one on a dead end street. I thought it had rained the day before, so i rode my bike up to it, and when i did, it disappered. I was so confused back then but yeah lol

[@smartwork368]

This is because of total reflection of light 🤣🤣

It’s early dawn in the desert. The sky is starting to glow with light but the sun is still yet to rise. You’re standing there, looking at an ordinary desert bush. You’re struck by its geometric beauty, the mathematical precision of its fractally-arranged leaves. You feel an impulse to reach out. You run your fingers through its little green leaves. They feel spikey and alive.

They should plant a sail boat out there and take a close up picture of it to look at at the lookout

[@alokgupta6782]

It happens due to Total Internal reflection of light
Different temperature air having different densities cause this

Good for you.

[@mizzmegahertz8176]

0:38. Says
Mirages are natural phenomenon where light rays penetrates air layers of different densities (it should go on to say )
These densities of air layers are actually layered realms that can't be seen unless light penetrates the layers .which makes the images visible to the human eye or camera lens .Many life forms exist on multiple realms on the planet earth .

[@Xurreal]

Solar radiation in the form of light strikes through the angular atmosphere, reducing the frequency peak of the photon.
The photons of a particular angular moment are actually not striking the ground, but are refracted upward to travel perpendicular along the ground.
What we see on the ground is photons with the information from the sky but no information from the ground leaving the ground to reach your lens.
Also, that particular light could be considered "older" than the light you see identifying the land mass.
It's a trip.

[@wooshifgay462]

That does not explain the mirage at all, all you said is:light comes from space and hits ground
Yeah we kinda knew that
What causes mirages is that when the mass of a specific volume of material changes it density changes causing the refractive index of the material to change
Since increased temperatures increase the volume it also decreases the density if the air causing it to constantly change its refractive index since when the air gets hot it rises causing a cycle of refractive index change
Which causes ligh to interact with it differently constantly causing it to “wobble”
