A schematic of an inferior mirage, showing a) the unrefracted line of sight, b) the refracted line of sight and c) the apparent position of the refracted image. In an inferior mirage, the mirage image appears below the real object. The real object in an inferior mirage is the (blue) sky or any distant (therefore bluish) object in that same ...
A nineteenth-century book illustration, showing enlarged superior mirages; mirages can never be so far above the horizon, and a superior mirage can never increase the length of an object as shown on the right. A Fata Morgana superior mirage of a ship can take many different forms.

Several inversion layers produce multiple pancake-like shapes. [3] It is possible that the solar anomaly mentioned in the Book of Joshua may have been an example of a mock ...
Looming of the Canadian coast as seen from Rochester, New York, on April 16, 1871. Looming is the most noticeable and most often observed of these refraction phenomena. It is an abnormally large refraction of the object that increases the apparent elevation of the distant objects and sometimes allows an observer to see objects that are located below the horizon under normal conditions.
A gravitational mirage or cosmic mirage is an optical phenomenon affecting the appearance of a distant star or galaxy, seen only through a telescope.It can take the form of a ring or rings partially or completely surrounding the object, a duplicate image adjacent to the object, or multiple duplicate images surrounding the object.

That particular mirage is very interesting and birds make it even more plesant to see. This one that you believe "is more illustrative" is different type of mirage.
