Fata Morgana Effect ๐ฅ๐ฎโ๐จ @edsciencelab ๐๐จโ๐ฌ
A Fata Morgana is a rare and complex optical illusion caused by temperature inversions in the atmosphere. It bends light rays to create distorted, elevated, or floating mirages of distant objects like ships and coastlines, often making them look like towering fairy castles in the sky.

Sadi Carnot was born 230 years ago today.
In 1824, while studying steam engines, he discovered a limit that no technology can overcome:
No engine can convert all heat into useful work.
This insight became the foundation of thermodynamics and understanding of energy. Carnot died in 1832 at just 36 years old.
