The shape on the horizon that Maricarmen Khalaf could see from a ferry travelling from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay looked like a ...

The atmosphere can often play optical tricks on us, like the mirages that can sometimes form over Lake Michigan.

The green flash is a rare, brief optical event of green, yellow, and sometimes blue that colors the horizon, occurring at sunrise or sunset most often in the western U.S. Refraction and dispersion ...

Brooklyn Mirage's opening has been delayed by construction permit problems. Sources say Mirage officials were given a list of fixes to implement.

The real mirage was the promises made. The Brooklyn Mirage canceled its highly anticipated four-show summer opening weekend Friday because the controversial venue failed to meet city safety ...

In heat shimmering and mirage, the changes in the index of refraction of the surrounding air are attributed to temperature variation. A nonlinear ray tracing method is used for rendering.

Dr. Wolfers is a professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan. The air is thick with recession talk, and stocks are cratering. But it just may be a mirage, a refraction ...

The Mitsubishi Mirage was one of the last cars available in the United States for under $20,000, but here's why it's not being offered as a 2025 model.

Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes, e.g., from air into water or glass. Negative refraction, however, is a counterintuitive effect where light in a medium bends in the ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control ...

It remains out on the horizon, staying just out of reach. How can this be? Then someone realizes what’s going on: it’s a mirage! While they may be a huge feature in cartoons, mirages are real. They’re ...
