Chasiotis' positioning was no accident.
This particular atmospheric optical phenomenonwhen occurring during a normal sunriseis called the Etruscan Vase effect.
Great science fiction writer Jules Verne actually named the optical illusion after the shape that it makes.

The crescent sun rose in a deep red color that reminded me of burning coal.
