Talk:Novaya Zemlya effect

Tag
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.

Translation for Novaya Zemlya?
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)
 * 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)
