Metal Print : Photograph of the green flash effect
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Photograph of the green flash effect
The green flash. Photograph of the green flash, an elusive effect visible at sunset for a few seconds when the last portion of the solar disc goes beneath the horizon. The green flash is caused by the atmospheric refraction of the sunlight. The refraction is larger for green and blue light than for red light and this means that the image of the Sun viewed in green light will appear to be slightly higher above the horizon than the image in red. When the upper part of the red image approaches the horizon the green flash may be seen as a sudden change in colour from yellow to green. Sometimes a final violet-blue flash is also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elusive green flash effect, a mesmerizing phenomenon visible for just a few seconds during sunset. As the last portion of the solar disc dips beneath the horizon, an enchanting transformation occurs. The green flash is born from the atmospheric refraction of sunlight, where green and blue light refract more than red light. The image showcases how the Sun appears slightly higher above the horizon in green light compared to its red counterpart due to this differential refraction. When the upper part of the red image approaches the horizon, a sudden change in color unfolds before our eyes - from yellow to vibrant green. It's as if nature herself has painted this fleeting moment with her brush. But that's not all; sometimes, as if bidding farewell to daylight with one final flourish, a violet-blue flash emerges on occasion. This additional burst of color adds an extra layer of magic to an already awe-inspiring spectacle. In this photograph, Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific wonder and artistic beauty. Through their lens, we are transported into a world where physics meets artistry at dusk—a landscape where light refraction creates ethereal displays that leave us breathless.
