Did you know?
The green flash, a fleeting optical phenomenon during sunset, is caused by atmospheric conditions that separate the sunlight into its different color components, with the green light being the last visible before the sun disappears below the horizon.
A little history:
The green flash during sunset has intrigued observers for centuries, with historical records dating back to the early 19th century. Sailors and explorers, particularly those traversing open seas, were among the first to document this optical marvel. The green flash gained widespread attention through maritime literature, where sailors would share tales of witnessing a momentary burst of green light just as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Scientifically explained as a result of atmospheric refraction, the green flash occurs when the Earth’s atmosphere acts as a prism, dispersing sunlight into its constituent colors. The phenomenon is most commonly observed over clear, unobstructed horizons, such as expansive ocean views. The green light is the last to be visible due to its shorter wavelength, and it briefly lingers as the sun sets or rises.
