Amazing Nature Weather.

Watching a glorious sunset is one of life’s great pleasures. As the glowing orb descends slowly beneath the horizon, the sky can progress through a kaleidoscope of colour, with oranges, reds, deep blues and violets putting on a show. But, every now and then, when the sun is nearly below the horizon, this familiar spectacle will be interrupted by a dramatic and unexpected interloper: a momentary, but very clear flash of bright green light — a small vivid, luminous explosion just above the top of the sun that has no place in your picture-perfect sunset. After a moment of wondering if you saw it at all, the question becomes, what was it? What you have just seen is called, prosaically enough, a ‘green flash’. And they’re not only confined to sunsets — they can also occur around sunrise and usually last for no more than a second or two.
