GREEN THINGS ON EARTH: There was a time, long ago, when people thought the green flash was a myth, a phenomenon of fiction--and if you saw one you couldn’t believe your eyes. But what if you saw six? There are at least half a dozen green flashes in this 11 MB movie of an Atlantic sunset recorded by astrophotographer Dirk Ewers: “I just came back from vacation on the Canary Island of La Palma,“ says Ewers. “While I was there, I witnessed a very clear sunset with multiple green flashes. They were real.“
