Atmospheric refraction plays with the light of any object near the horizon. Here stars, startrails, and the sun, display immense distortion above inversion layers in the outskirts of the Atacama desert, Chile. Filmed by timelapse photography from two major observatories in Chile. The moon scene is filmed near Boston at the Atlantic Ocean shoreline. The mirage is an optical phenomenon in which light rays are refracted and bent in the atmosphere and produce distorted or multiple images of the object. The clips are available to license in HD and 4K.
