Explanation: Yes, but have you ever seen a sunrise like this? Here, after initial cloudiness, the Sun appeared to rise in two pieces and during a partial eclipse in 2019, causing the photographer to describe it as the most stunning sunrise of his life. The dark circle near the top of the atmospherically-reddened Sun is the Moon -- but so is the dark peak just below it. This is because along the way, the Earth's atmosphere had a layer of unusually warm air over the sea which acted like a gigantic lens and created a second image. For a normal sunrise or sunset, this rare phenomenon of atmospheric optics is known as the Etruscan vase effect. The featured picture was captured in December 2019 from Al Wakrah, Qatar. Some observers in a narrow band of Earth to the east were able to see a full annular solar eclipse -- where the Moon appears completely surrounded by the background Sun in a ring of fire. The next solar eclipse, also an annular eclipse for well-placed observers, will occur this coming Saturday.

Horns of Satan.
I have complained about the NASA muslim outreach started under Dear Leader Zero. Their Earth-based photos are so often Muslim or Chinese. After the atrocities in Israel, does it seem strange that there would be such a muslim symbol posted for today? I considered not posting it, but I decided to point out the leftist scum bias at NASA.
It kind of seems to be sinking...
Eerie.
It seems timely, considering……
Plus it was taken in Qatar…
make for a neat lsd trip....well...once upon a time it would have.
Looks like a huge invisible, well endowed girl in a red top.
