It is not really wet - you are just seeing a second image of the sky." A similar effect may occur when you are driving down a road in the summer. "The relatively warm air over the Persian Gulf caused an image of the Sun and Moon to dip near it. "The Earth's atmosphere created two images of the Sun as it was being partially eclipsed by the Moon," Nemiroff explained. This warm air essentially functioned like a refraction lens, causing the mirage/mirror effect seen at the bottom of the "devil horns." The visual phenomenon seen in the photo is the result of the moon eclipsing the sun at the same time that there was an inversion layer of unusually warm air in the Persian Gulf. "Elias and I then exchanged emails where he gave me more details."
"Elias's image was quite popular, and it also demonstrated several interesting effects all at once: sunrise, eclipse, atmospheric optics and a common-looking boat that add scale and familiarity," Nemiroff said.
