Mirages - how they work! From simple water on the road to spectacular illusions.

We look at all types of mirages from the "water" we often see on roads on a hot summers day, to more spectacular examples like an iceberg where there wasn't one and a bridge that looks like a flying saucer. And we don't just look at examples- we do an experiment showing how warm air can bend light to form a mirage, and look at the details behind how one of the most spectacular superior mirages ever photographed was formed.

The amazing "Iceberg" mirage shown in the video was photographed by Simone Engels who was kind enough to provide me with her original photos and the information needed to analyze how the mirage happened. You can see more of her amazing nature and astrophotography on Facebook and on her website:
