Odessa residents witnessed a unique natural phenomenon. Ships appeared above the sea surface, seemingly floating in the air. This optical phenomenon, known as Fata Morgana, occurs due to the difference in temperature of the air layers.
Fata Morgana is a complex atmospheric phenomenon that creates the illusion that distant objects, such as ships or coastlines, appear to float in the air or are repeated multiple times. This occurs due to the refraction of light as it passes through layers of air of different temperatures, creating distorted images.

This optical phenomenon is quite rare and is observed in different parts of the world. Seeing it with your own eyes is truly an unforgettable sight. Odessans who were lucky enough to capture this natural wonder in photos and videos shared their impressions on social networks.
Fata Morgana reminds us of how amazing and unpredictable the natural world can be.
