The mythycal green (and blue) flash, more shots of it than ever before in one video.. And of course and explanation of the phenomenon.

just discovered your channel from the algorithm boosted segmented displays video. can confidently say that the content on your channel is better than 100% of everything ever shown to me in higher education even during the start of the pandemic when education shifted to mostly online, with teachers and governments lazily linking to other content on the internet

[@MasDouc]

Same, I cannot get enough of this. These videos are so incredibly high quality.

[@on8t]

i am scared of how beautiful your videos are. and the music is just... i have no words for it

[@jpetrik155]

The scene from 3:50 to 4:10 makes me feel really uncomfortable - the music, the distorted windmills, everything makes me feel weird on the inside

"Ever gazed upon the green flash, master Gibbs?"

[@TheOpticalFreak]

Wat een geweldige video! 💚🤩 Ik had er vroeger ook over gehoord, maar nooit zelf gezien. Toen ik het een keer aan mijn optiek leraar vroeg, zij dat het nep was! Ik ben nog steeds boos op hem!!! 😤🤬 Maar dat zelfs een blue flash kan ontstaan 🤯💙

[@Psycandy]

the green flash is rare here, in cape town. you'll see a fata morgana more often. i guess it depends on latitude else we'd see more sun dogs and other parahelia

[@KoRNk1LLz]

This concept is my new hyper-fixation

[@bentonpix]

At first I thought it was caused by chromatic aberration of the lens, which it still might be, but now I think it could also be a natural chromatic aberration caused by atmospheric distortion.

[@IIGrayfoxII]

Ever gazed upon the green flash, Master Gibbs?

[@GlaceonStudios]

In a sense, you could say that a green flash is to a sunset as the diamond ring is to a total eclipse. I wonder if techincally this is one instance where you can see the chromosphere of the sun too, though I know that the chromosphere is far dimmer than the photosphere.

[@shybound5905]

when i first was watching this i thought you were the type of person who was just a voice actor trying to tell everyone about an article they read but i was shocked to see you at the end because i thought they were all stock videos and even more shocked to see you even created the music yourself as well

[@PosyMusic]

I didn't really realize that viewers could think that🙂

[@pifopifo1000]

@@PosyMusic Absolutely right. Most people, me included, expect most youtubers to just use stock footage on the internet. So it is very surprising and pleasant to see that you filmed all this yourself :)

[@an8thdimensionalbeing142]

the music combined with something as grand as the sun really gives me a feeling of terror i cant describe properly. its like standing on the surface of a thick atmosphered planet and seeing a star several times the size of our sun just encompassing the whole sky.

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

You described the feeling better than me

I have found one of the most charming and impactful channels in my 10+ year adventure on KZbin. Every video I've seen of you has been filled to the brim with wonderful passion and beautiful elegance the likes of which I've only seen in the best videos on the platform. Your work transcends words, and I am excited to stay along for anything else you upload. Cheers!

[@efnissien]

I was in college when a lecturer told us about it. That evening, pretty much the entire class was sitting on the nearby beach watching the sun go down. The evening after, almost the entire college.

[@JRSSchattenberg]

Sounds like pre social media era :,(

[@efnissien]

@@JRSSchattenberg Yup, . It was '97, -the internet was just kicking into gear. We had great nights watching comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp in the night skies. Social media was checking out the notice board in the pub for future events (Pub quiz, darts, and pool league fixtures and events.)

[@blue4splash]

Oh man, I read Jules Verne's book "The Green Ray" when I was a child and I've always wondered if that's fiction or not, and every time I had the chance to watch the sun setting in the sea I would look for that green flash, without luck. But you managed to catch it and just showed me something that I was dreaming of seeing as a child. Thank you! I hope one day I will catch it with my bare eye. (fantastic production btw)

[@bdura2021]

As someone who lives exclusively around mountains, I can easily say that I've never seen the green flash in my entire life. Lovely footage.

[@zarkflappysheep]

Love the music and the visuals and the audio and everything

[@AD_RC]

The soundtrack for when you were zooming in on the sun the firet time was so... ominous.

[@CoolDudeClem]

Well, this wasn't the green flashes I was thinking about but still interesting, I've never even heard of these Where I live there's just too many houses in the way. I remember one time (quite a while ago) when Dad took me round to one of his friends who was into astronomy. It was a cold night, and while I was there I kept seeing green flashes in the sky and I asked what it was. Apparently the conditions were just right for auroras to be seen, even though I live in southern UK.

[@MarvinYoani]

Are you talking about tle's?

[@rishenreni7618]

I remember a green flash around 19° north lattitude. Any phenomenon that can happen so close to the equator?

[@dannymaggard]

The times I've seen the green flash it when i was out to sea on a ship. The seas were very calm and the flash happened when the sun first touched the horizon. The water lit up green for a split second. And you could see the sun shining through the water.

[@colinbrown7947]

As many others have said, your channel is a true gem. The combination of cinematography, humor, education, and narration make this such a unique channel like no other. After watching through your whole channel, I have to say you are the best youtuber there is for me. I hope your next vid isn't too far away, because you make truly amazing and unique content.

im honestly blown away by the production value of your videos, this is fully funded documentary level production. the fact that after two years this only has 46k views is criminal

[@Maximum_777]

5:50, this is a glorious example of what someone with less knowledge about what they were filming and the camera they were using, would consider to be an unexplainable UFO. This example is right on the water but it's a really good example of the kind of things that happen at sunset which people constantly think are UFO's. The UFO Phenomenon is a literal meme once you understand cameras and the artifacts that come with them. Idk why I'm bringing this up here, but UFO people just frustrate me to no end.

this video is incredible my god

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Nope - I've seen the Green Flash and it is super rare. I lived in Cornwall for a couple of years, took a coastal path walk at sundown and saw a bright green flash just after sunset. When I told people at work they are angry stating "I've known people who've been fishermen for over 40 years and THEY haven't seen the Green Flash!" It IS a real thing and super rare, it was like mint green sheet lightning. It happens after the sun has gone down. Also, you have to remember that when the disk of the sun touches the horizon it has already set but that atmospheric bending of light makes it still visible.

[@peterf46]

Last night, my wife saw a green flash from the garden as the sun was setting… next day, this is the first video I see on KZbin! Thankyou for clarifying that she isn’t going mad.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

So it is basically the chromatic aberation of the atmospheric lens? Intriguing...

[@doofismannfred4778]

Well, it's the result of refraction. But it is a bit odd to call the atmosphere a lens as that usually implies a typical circularly symmetric lens, which is not how it works.

[@TimCheese]
