Strange phenomenon makes the sun look distorted!
A brief history of the impact of Novaya Zemlya
Scientific optical strange phenomenon known as the "Novia Zemlya effect" where the sun look like a distorted and divided. This phenomenon was observed for the first time in January of 1597 m by the crew of the Dutch navigator Willem Barents ship, which was sailing his third trip to the North Pole to find a waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean Pacific.
Unfortunately, we did not find a ship only frozen seas island and suspended in the ice, forcing the crew to crawl toward winter plants on the island. In the third month of November they saw the sun for the last time when it seemed below the horizon, and did not expect to see the sun again until the date of February 8.
On January 24, 1597 m, hinted three members of the ship's crew before returning sun expected, did Captain Barents believe them because he knows that the sun is low on the horizon and not see it at the moment. But after three days, the sun emerged again and watched the Barents himself with the rest of the crew. During the return trip to the Netherlands, one of the crew codification of exotic note they had seen in the Arctic and Barents been killed during the return trip home.
The scientific explanation for what he saw crew members, it is the effect of Novaya Zemlya, which spread to all among the scientific community. Although many scientists rejected this theory and Aiezha to the error in the preservation of history, but the world's Kepler sincerity and I suppose the possibility of their occurrence and watch the sun before a timely fashion.
After nearly 300 years of watching navigator Barents and his crew stunning, and in 1896, the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen other note about the effect of Novaya Zemlya during his visit to the North Pole within A_i_kavih campaign, described as part of his book, "Far North," said (it was a mirage in the beginning like a red line glowed outside the floor-to-horizon. later there has been a couple of streaks and one above the other, with the darkness between them. I could see four or five of these horizontal lines directly above each other and are all the same length. as if the sun looked red Kosherait chopped ).
Again, notice the phenomenon, another explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton during his participation in an expedition to the South Pole from 1914-1917m. Shackleton saw the sun after seven days of absence under the horizon, and two months later, he saw again, and five days before the actual date of her return. After watching her again in 1956, after five years it has been the adoption of the term effect of denying Zemlya Mhes.
What is Nafalla Zemlya effect astronomer? And how the sun looks through it?
Astronomer, the effect is defined as the sunrise before the date that should appear. Where the sun appears in the form of a square or rectangular red lines. The effect occurs because of a mirage in the hot air near the earth's surface. Because cooler air over the surface of the ice is released amount of strong heat, and when it permeates the sun cold class rays are Tjoihaa about the curvature of the Earth by total internal up to a distance of hundreds of kilometers of reflection, and can be observed this phenomenon at the poles, where extremely cold conditions.
But strange that this phenomenon has been observed on the coast of the warm California. The explanation is that the cold ocean currents Takhlt with the hot air of the land and there were apparent for several minutes only.
The pictures are grouped to the impact of Novaya Zemlya during sunset near San Francisco, which occurred mid-January for the year 2009.
