Moonset seen from an airplaine high in the air somewhere over North Altantic in July 2010. Note the clear color deliniation between the troposphere and stratosphere here, and how visibly distorted is the Moon due to atmospheric refraction. The light path between my eyes and the Moon through the air at this moment corresponds to roughly 50 vertical thicknesses of atmosphere, or 300 miles of air under normal condition.

Заход Луны где-то над северной Атлантикой, вид с самолёта. Чётко видна цветовая граница между тропосферой и стратосферой. Диск Луны неимоверно искажён атмосферной рефракцией. Неудивительно: ведь в этот момент оптический путь света сквозь воздух составляет около 50 вертикальных толщин атмосферы, или 460 километров воздуха при нормальных условиях.
