Mirage of astronomical objects
ID: mirage-of-astronomical-objects
In the context of astronomy, a "mirage" usually refers to optical phenomena that can distort the appearance of celestial objects, making them seem altered or displaced from their actual positions. While the term is most commonly associated with atmospheric phenomena on Earth, such as the mirages seen on hot pavement, similar principles can apply when observing astronomical objects.
