"Mysterious Green Flash in Phoenix Night Sky: Unraveling the Enigma"

Residents in metro Phoenix reported seeing a green flash of light in the night sky, with the American Meteor Society receiving 80 reports of a "fireball" over the southwest United States, 52 of which were sighted in Arizona. Multiple videos captured the phenomenon, showing a flash of white, yellowish light transforming into a bright green as it falls before fading away. The Arizona Republic reached out to Lowell Observatory and ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration for more information on the celestial event.

"Rare Green Flash: Venus Illuminated in Stunning Photo Series"

Photographer Peter Rosén captured a stunning green flash on Venus while taking routine photographs of the planet as part of a wider skyscape. The green flash, usually associated with the setting or rising Sun, can also occur with other light sources such as planets. Rosén's keen eye and photography skills have also captured similar phenomena on Mars and the Sun, showcasing the beauty of atmospheric refraction and the illusion of light.

"Photographer Captures Rare Green Flash from Venus in Stunning Image"

Swedish photographer and amateur astronomer Peter Rosén captured a rare green flash around Venus while photographing the planet's rise over Stockholm using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR and a telephoto lens. This remarkable sighting is the second time Rosén has observed a planetary green flash, having previously captured one around Mars in 2018. His lifelong passion for astronomy and photography has led to stunning images of celestial bodies, including Jupiter and Mars, and his work has been featured by NASA and Space Weather.

"Stunning Image Captures Rare Green Flash from Venus"

Photographer captures rare green flash from Venus in the night sky above Sweden, attributed to the cold atmosphere and sharp gradient in air temperatures acting like a prism. The phenomenon, more common at sea when the Sun is low on a clear horizon, lasted about a second and has gone viral on social media. Similar green flashes are emitted by the Sun when it rises above the horizon due to refraction, where the bending of light causes it to change speed as it passes from one medium to another.

"Rare 'Green Flash' Captured in Stunning Venus Photograph"

Photographer captures a rare green flash coming from Venus in the night sky above Stockholm, resembling the ethereal green flashes occasionally seen around the sun during sunrises and sunsets. The phenomenon, caused by atmospheric refraction, lasted for around a second and added to the awe-inspiring experience of watching Venus rise. The green flash, along with subtle shimmers of other colors, was captured in footage, and similar occurrences have been observed with Mercury and the moon. Unlike green flashes around the sun, these planetary flashes are more commonly seen through extremely cold air, magnifying the effect.

The Mystery of the Green Flash at Sunrise and Sunset.

The green flash is a rare phenomenon that occurs during sunset or sunrise when the atmosphere behaves like a prism, separating the stack of different-colored images of the sun. The green color is produced by atmospheric refraction of light, causing objects near the horizon to appear slightly higher in the sky than they really are. The green flash can be elusive, but it can be seen during very clear and exceptionally transparent skies. To catch a glimpse of the green flash, look for a distant, sharply-defined, and low horizon, and avoid looking at the sun until the last moment to avoid eye damage.
