I took a picture of an extraordinary setting sun Saturday evening on my way back to Cape Vincent and was disappointed that it looked like a…hamburger.
When I researched the cause of my photo issue, the “hamburger sun” seems to be a rare atmospheric phenomenon called a “mock mirage sunset” caused by different temperatures of layers of air refracting (bending) sunlight near the horizon.
I’d never heard of this!
