What is a Green Flash?

A rare optical phenomenon, green flashes are usually seen as the sun sets (or rises) on a clear horizon,such as over the ocean. A brilliant green hue is viewed in the upper edge of the sun. This flash is caused mostly by refraction (blue light from the sun bends more than other light wave lengths). Green Flashes often are seen from Birch Aquarium's Preuss Tidepool Plaza.
