SciShow you made me think my iPad broke lol
SciShow this is really cool
Thank you
SciShow ohh I see 😊
Sarah fixes the atmosphere.
CO2 & Ozone are on the to-do list.
So sarah caught the error?
I saw a green flash from the coast of Oregon in the winter. I actually had a camera set up on a tripod in just case it happened. It was the most beautiful green I've ever seen. I immediately clicked the bulb. When I got my slides back from the developer, there was nothing but the sunset as it looked after the flash. So it lasted less than my reaction time.
I am assuming this was sunrise? Considering Oregon in on the West Coast
@@Dana-ki6vs In my part of Oregon the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The Pacific is to the west.
@@BlankBrain "in my part of oregon"

"Up is down... well that's just maddeningly unhelpful."
That's even more than less than helpful.

Actually a funny comment,
Not like all these Hanks and spam commenters
The Green Flash sounds like The Flash’s newest super villain.
Or the lovechild of Hal Jordan and Barry Allen.
Better than Devoe
Yeah kinda. I think Cisco would be upset if he didn't get to pick the name though. 🙂 But now I kind of want the next villain to have that name.
Back when I was a kid doing bong hits, a green flash was what happened when you took too big a hit and your sinuses weren't clear.
I bet his supersuit is green and animated too.
I saw a sunrise green flash sitting on a sand dune on the beach of Isle of Palms, South Carolina on July 3rd, 1958. It was the most brilliant color of green I had ever seen. I never found out about the phenomenon until forty years later when I was online and read about it. I was so glad to know it was real.
3:14 - 3:17 I really enjoy that you included real-time footage to provide an example for us all to see. Thanks for confirmation of scientific principles!
*_I’VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT_*
And guess what's inside it

Bless you
1:36 took a moment, but I figured out why this is true after an incident of reflection
**claps**
Why this isn't top comment is a mystery to me.
Green Flash - The last lightbender.
"I reckon I seen my fair share. Happens on rare occasion. The last glimpse of sunset, a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives without ever seeing it. Some claim to have seen it who ain't. And some say-"
"It signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead."
My wife and I have a home 110 miles north of San Francisco situated 1100' above sea level with an excellent view of the ocean. Off shore fog frequently interferes with the sunset, but at least half the
time it is clear enough that we see the green flash well about 2/3rds of the time.
I saw it once
2:32 "Silly human!, now you must face my stand, green flashu!"
So Pirates of the Caribbean was right 😭
Wung Her du
Wung Her pirates of the carribean was right about a lot of things
I feel like now we need an episode about mirages...
This is one of those videos that teaches you things you never knew you wanted to learn about.... but those are my favorite kind. Keep being awesome SciShow!
20 years ago I was at a small bay in Thailand. Just as the sun was about to set there was a amazingly fast neon green flash from one side of the bay to the other. My friend saw it and said' don't say anything just make a wish'. It was green and it went in a flash.
Well, this certainly *sheds light* on the topic
Abdel aziz habiba you can go now
Abdel aziz habiba I think that my favourite eggcorn is "to shade light on a matter".
Bah dum tsss!
The green flash... this should be my hero academia's midoriya's hero name... the last bit of "hope" before the darkness sets.
2:30 second son heck more like nuclear blast on the horizon.
hahahahah
That's the work of an enemy stand
Eugene InLaw US bombing Japan
And here I was thinking my grandmother had messed up when she painted the sun like a mushroom cloud in her old painting.

The Green Flash? sounds like a certain super fast hero just got a power ring of lanterns light :P
jak jak
Just an ordinary Flash, after he pledged to become carbon neutral by 2020.
Video: "Green Flash - Sixty Symbols" Brady Haran & Pete Lawrence filmed detailed stages of green flash in at the big observatory in Paranal, Chile.
Good video imho.
One cool summer in Oregon on a cliff looking over the Pacific, I was taking a sunset picture of my wife and caught the green flash in the picture. We went back the next night and got a video of it. I had heard of them but had never seen them before or since.
I've always wanted to know - If an aircraft flew at the right speed toward the sunset, at the right moment that the green flash would happen, could the green flash be prolonged?
I've seen it 5-6 times, out of maybe 7-8 times I looked for it. Ocean sunsets... It's completely real. Sometimes it's very pronounced, very distinct, and other times more subtle. But you won't notice unless you're looking for it.
It's true. During the summer, we go to St. Andrews Marina just to see it. The Green Flash is a major attraction not just for tourists... locals find it pretty amazing too. It happens quick so you can miss it real fast if you don't catch it as the sun slips beneath the horizon. Just a few seconds of a spectacular bright green flash.
I've never even heard of this phenomenon. Cool.
I've been an amateur astronomer most of my 80 year life, but never heard of the green flash until in my 40's.
Grew up in Kona, Hawaii. Seen hundreds. Thanks for confirming common knowledge.
And Rockruff evolves in Alola, a region based on Hawaii, because of the green flash....
Sorry had to make that reference.... Really sorry
For all the land locked people out there, especially those who live near mountains, it’s not what you’d call a common sight, so I’m sure a lot of people have had no idea if this was true or not.
awwww i live in southern germany, lots of mountains...
I saw the green flash twice on a cruise. The first was a more yellowish green but the second was the most vivid, beautiful intense green imaginable followed by aqua blue. It was incredible and I had my camera aimed at it, got the shots.
Oh wow do you have them anywhere on display ?
I saw it once by accident looking out over the ocean at sunset 🌅 in the South Pacific. It was pronounced and really brightly colored green like fluorescent neon green and it took over the whole horizon for a second and just disappeared . Was so cool
Dont worry its Captain Jack Sparrow coming back from Davy Jones locker
The sun is secertly a part of the Green Lantern Force
Duwang Man The sun is Mogo's drinking buddy.
Lol
Maybe that was what my math prof meant when she suddenly stopped writing on the blackboard remaining silent for a while then absentmindedly uttering "green, green is the colour of hope" then resuming the lecture as if nothing had happened. Suddenly I feel even more appreciative of her lectures (she is a great prof anyways :)
I keep all of my important documents on a Green Flash drive.
Only 2 likes for Master Therion? Weird........
Yeah, I was late. And, I admit, this isn't a very good pun.
1 more lke from me
Meh.
But they are time-locked. You can only access them twice a day for a few seconds...lol
It signals when a soul comes back from the dead!
Lol. Hank "Green". He is a flash of sunlight in Scishow.
Close enough
In the 1970's I was on a ship watching the sunset. I saw a green flash that was so intense that the entire sky turned green for about 4 seconds!! At the time, I didn't know what I had seen.
2:36 Looks like an atomic Bomb
Just hit 5m! Congrats!!!
I'm here after seeing the green flash for the first time ever at the beach last night! Perfect conditions, over the Pacific Ocean with no clouds. It was so cool to see!!
I saw the Green Flash once, from the dining room of a cruise ship in the Pacific near Vanuatu. It's the only time in my life I've seen it.

Just before a summer storm. Sometimes the sky turns “green” the sky is not clear but covered in clouds. sometimes the storm will produce a tornado.
Why don’t you make a video on the alternative theories about the Universe on TH-cam this would be interesting and good for the TH-cam community!!!
Random question. How big would a cube of clear silicon glass have to be before you can't see through it due to refraction, molecules blocking the light, etc.?
Also if you had a planet sized ball of it would the planet glow because of the immense heat and pressure or would it be dark because of the factors listed in the first question?
zorod That's a really interesting question. You should ask the "Because science" TH-cam channel.
There is no point where you can say that now it is big enough. The light blocking happens gradually, so it would just get darker with every meter. There is some e^-1 formula that describes how brightness goes down with distance travelled through material. Depends on the strength of the light source, the distance and material constants, but never truly reaches zero (because of e^-1).
But idk about your second question, very interesting. One thing that is for sure is that most of the glass planets material would be molten due to heat. Molten glass glows of course, but we would have to figure out how thick the solid crust would be and then use that e^-1 formula to see how much light reaches the surface.
Green lantern is secretly living there.
I seen alot of these when I was in the Navy . Kinda scary the 1st time I seen it
Wow. Pokémon made that green flash in that Alola episode really exaggerated (When Lycanroc evolves)
Dusk Lycanroc evolution explained
Hawaii's a great place to see the green flash nearly everytime.
That's exciting
I saw the green flash on one of Brady Haran's videos, from either Deep Sky Videos, or 60 Symbols though I forget exactly which it was. They were at the (hope this is correct) the Aricebo observatory in Chile. In the series of pictures that were taken, you can clearly see that the sunlight turns bright green for a couple of seconds as the sun is setting.
2:29 I can't believe it. Even here I still can't escape the Jojo's references.
You late sci show, Pokémon got to this first fam
Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French I wouldn’t say necessarily that “fam” is ghetto, it’s just silly slang that sounds stupid. Frankly I’m surprised you chose to passive aggressively criticize my usage of “fam” instead of “you” as opposed to “you’re”.
Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French Take of the Exactly, it doesn't work. *How ghetto are you trying to be* but adding the exactly at the beginning makes it grammatically incorrect. 😊
#Captain Obvious hey correct your “of” to “off” before he notices and goes for the low hanging fruit.
Pirates of the Caribbean got it first.
SciShow is one of my favorite things.
At dawn on Christmas Eve 2016, I saw a very brilliant blue flash at the instant of sunrise. I wasn't expecting to see it. I was outdoors on that very cold morning, simply to photograph the landscape at various stages of increasing daylight. The blue flash was so intense that I forgot to trigger the camera shutter.
Green flashes are somewhat rare, but blue flashes even more so....or so I've read. NEVER seen one, but have been seeing green flashes over 40 years.
is that why full moonlight can make the sky look purple?
Here in Florida at a placed called Sanibel Island it happens there it seems more than anywhere in Florida at sunset.
So close to 5 million!
We need an "It's True" and "It's False" series
This makes me so happy
Thanks Captain Jack
I saw the green flashes today some time after taking off in a private plane with a friend. We took off just after sunset. As we cleared the trees, just a tiny part of the top of the sun was visible. As we climbed further, the sun rose again (in the west, remember it was actually after sunset, not sunrise). Somewhere during this at probably 5,000 feet altitude all three of us could see the green flashes for quite some time. It's subtle, but noticeable. I filmed it with my phone, but it wasn't visible in the recording unfortunately. During this we saw the sun rise completely and then set again some time after we leveled off. Bad news for flat Earthers. :-P
I wonder if the narrator ever actually saw the green flash. I have seen it, just once when I lived in Barbados for 10 years. It was a green horizontal flash, a split second, which I don't see in this animation.
Happens in Hawaii nearly nightly
I've seen a band of green that sticks around for a bit in the colours of the sunset before, not just a flash. Only a few times though.
I, as a 1st year optometry student, find this fascinating
dusk form lycanroc anyone? lol
Was looking for the pokemon reference. A+
That is literally the reason I looked up this video
Mamma said alligators are so ornery because they got all them teeth,
but no tooth brush
Betty nope, mammas wrong again.
I believe Cl.sanders taught you it was the medula oblongata?
The best part of this whole video is as he says true green of hope the sun's remainder becomes green at 3:15-3:19
Awesome! Such a weird phenomenon! Thanks for the video!
That's a heck of a payoff at the end!
Oh my god finally an explanation. I saw this happening twice in the morning and i freaked out for real.
I love this. When I was a kid my dad told me about that green flash. We wanted to see it together and we tried a bunch of times but never actually saw it. After a while we forgot, but I still try to see it when I look at sunset. Now I know it's real. Thanks for this episode!
I only caught it once by accident . I have tried for a decade and nothing
Orholam's wink
I clicked because you didn't clickbait in the title for once - i want to know more...
Cool! I've never heard of this phenomenon before!
Easiest way to see this is the green flash of the Moon through binoculars (magnified). Sunlight is so bright that often your eye registeres just too much light instead of the green flash that also happens right there. And if you do couple squats you may see the flash more than once.
I got in a huge argument with my highschool science teacher about this. Who's laughing now Mrs. Carson!!
“Ever gazed upon the green flash master Gibbs?”
Huh... so that's why the afterimage when eyes are hit by bright light tends to have a strange greenish tint!
Lycanroc.....
I've seen the sunrise version when going over a mountain range once thought it was just a figment of the imagination, I was tired and did not know it could happen at dawn.
as green as Shrek
how do you like the sun now
I looked at this video because this morning I saw it. I was so shocked and wanted to know what caused it
Yet another thing that can’t happen on a flat earth.
Stephen k. It would be cool if someone made a video listing all the stuff that wouldn’t be possible if Earth was flat. Just a bombardment of fact after fact after fact.
A sunset wouldn't be possible at all. Not in the world we know.
i have never seen green in sunset- will look closer now
Never even heard of that one.
Cool. Thanks
I was in the ocean and I was trying to see the green flash, but when I was jumping over the waves to see the sun I noticed that the water was really light blue, does anyone know what this is
The green sun... not to be confused with *T h e G r e e n S u n*.
But green doesnt just show up during the green flash. Ive seen green mixed in to the sunset that lasts for minutes.
I can hear Phil Jupitus now. "The sun", he weeps, "is not there."
2:34 It's look like a nuclear bomb explosion 💥
I have seen the real green flash in the Florida Keys. It is "very" bright and I believe it is when all the things align: the sun shine through the water (like light through a prism) and the green flash shoots out to be visible to the human eye.
🎶Green Sun, Green Sun over paradise🎶
The *GREEN SUN* eh? *Homestuck intensifies*
I would have thought it was when the yellow sun passes through the blue water and the tip surface would create just enough translucency to pass through and create green
I have taken photographs of many local sunsets. The near gamut of colors, cloud forms, contrails, insectivores,. I would like to see a green. Given some subjective experience, I'd like to see plaid. Ima keep watchin
And here i am. Forests and mountains in every direction.
People living in flat areas are lucky in this.
What about a green flash when it’s 1 am and repeat over and over randomly every 1-3 days after midnight
But this has already been settled for many years now. There's already videos out there showing the phenomenon.
"Mater Gibbs, ever gaze upon the green flash?"
This video is so impressive!!
