The famous Joshua Nowicki “Mirage” photo was taken back in 2015.
Here is an excerpt from a news article from a local outlet abc57 discussing the photo.
“A picture of the Chicago skyline taken almost 60 miles away, is actually a mirage. Joshua Nowicki (@StartVisiting) snapped the pic Tuesday night from Grand Mere State Park in Stevensville. Under normal conditions, even when extremely clear, this should not be visible, due to the curvature of the earth. The Chicago skyline is physically below the horizon from that vantage point, but the image of the skyline can be seen above it.”
Was Joshua’s photo really a mirage?
Let’s check out the famous experiment the legend Rob Skiba did to test the so-called “Mirage” claim.
No, the picture is not a mirage!!
