Tag[edit]

This was tagged for a merger in April; no reason was given in the edit summary, and no rationale given in the discussion page, so I’ve removed it.
For the record, I would oppose this merger. This page is about a discrete phenomenon, and is readable and understandable, while the Mirage page is a bit of a mish-mash; neither page stand to gain from lumping them together. Moonraker12 (talk) 09:24, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to suggest a merger because this article is a stub--Robert Treat (talk) 20:07, 29 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Translation for Novaya Zemlya?[edit]

As far as my rusty Russian goes, "Novaya Zemlya" means "New Earth"? Is this worth mentioning in the article - is so, where - and why exactly new *Earth* (when it's actually the sun we're seeing?) Cheers, Simon = 195.243.113.249 (talk) 10:44, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's the name of the island where the effect was first observed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaya_Zemlya Drabkikker (talk) 07:14, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
