==Night-time mirages==
The conditions for producing a mirage can occur at night as well as during the day.  Under some circumstances mirages of astronomical objects and mirages of lights from moving vehicles, aircraft, ships, buildings, etc. can be observed at night.{{sfn|Lynch|Livingston|Livingston|2001}}

===Mirage of astronomical objects===
{{main|Mirage of astronomical objects}}
A mirage of an astronomical object is a naturally occurring [[optical phenomenon]] in which light rays are bent to produce distorted or multiple images of an [[astronomical object]].  Mirages can be observed for such astronomical objects as the [[Sun]], the [[Moon]], the [[planet]]s, bright [[star]]s, and very bright [[comet]]s. The most commonly observed are [[sunset]] and [[sunrise]] mirages.
