"The most emerald green you've ever seen", was what I was told as a kid as I stood on the beach, surfboard under my arm. From that day on, I've watched for the Green Flash when the opportunity presents itself. I'm 63 now, and still waiting for it when I can. Nice vid.

Absolutely blew my mind when I first saw this. I was on a Cruise ship in the Officers' mess, My dad said it's perfect conditions out for a green flash. I questioned what it was and he explained that just as the sun sets below the horizon the top of it will flash the most vivid colour of green. As I got up to run to the porthole I squished up against the glass with my nose pressed against the cold pane and there it was. I must've only been about 11 or 12 at the time. But I still remember it, this video has caught it well, but I really do recommend you go see it in person. This video doesn't nearly serve it justice. Just like the northern lights. It's a lifetime bucket list phenomenon you have to see.

[@BlacktopTV]

I had a group of graphic design students at Laguna Beach one evening during Art Walk. I was telling them about the story of the green flash and that this was a perfect evening for it. No moisture or clouds in the sky. Just as I looked over my shoulder, the sun set and they all saw the brilliant green flash.

[@rachelkaveh8227]

Love to hear this story considering laguna is my hometown. Miss those art walk Thursdays.

It's actually possible to see the green flash twice in one sunset. You lay down while the sun is setting then, and as soon as you see the green flash, jump up as fast as you can. If you're quick sand tall enough, you'll get to see the green flash again.

[@duanepontius4537]

Very nice video. I've seen it many times at sundown from the deck of schooners in the Caribbean, but my favorite time was seeing it at dawn. A crescent moon was hanging just over the horizon, and the widest, brightest section points toward the Sun. Thus, I was staring at exactly the right point when it first crossed over, so my eyes weren't saturated in advance. Amazing

In the book, she describes the phenomenon which you show here, and I always remembered it, but thought it must be something of a folk myth!

Lots of hullaballoo over the green flash in Hawaii. Fact: most don't see it Fact: if you DO see it, it will be only a perception for around 1/50th of a second Fact: If you happen to blink around that moment, you miss it. Bottom line: don't plan your voyage or outing around this. Not worth it.

I'll try and get a look at it, but i'll probably blink.

[@0001D-t3e]

You are doing it wrong. I saw the Green Flash for a lot longer than 1/50th of a second when I was visiting Alaska above the arctic circle. The sun skirts the horizon a lot longer, so you get more time to experience the transformation.

[@willnayler]

I live in southern California and was and avid surfer since 1973 and have personally seen 5 Green Flashes over my lifetime of 58 years . I am a Mechanical Engineer and have worked 8 hours a day looking into CRT's and Flatscreens due to my job since 1986 and my eyesite is just enough to live on but I am sure after seeing my first Green Flash at the age of thirteen and watching sunsets to see the next Green Flash has not helped my eyes. After witnessing your first one it is addictive.

[@mav01]

where is it tho

[@hermeticalfishbuns]

Professor Walter Lewin explained that the best/only way to properly see it is with two people; you have to look in the other direction of the sun to have your eyes not overexposed, and a buddy of yours needs to constantly look at the sun and let you know the exact moment the sun dissapears. Yes, as you pointed out as a "fact", most don't see it. That doesn't mean you can't prepare yourself to the point you are almost guaranteed to see it. i.e. I would say your bottom line is missleading.

Have you ever watched a RGB colored light strip? When you partially block a section of the strip, you can see that section with another color than the rest of the strip, because you are blocking one or two of the three RGB leds. This effect reminds me so much of this. And there is a theory that our universe may be a simulation, like the matrix. The light of the sun could work as a giant RGB light system haha I know that there is scientific explanation for this effect, but I just wanted to point out how similar they are in that aspect haha
