“Green Flash at Moonrise” is copyrighted by El Cielo de Canarias. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA green flash, usually seen at sunrise or sunset, is a brief optical phenomenon. It happens when sunlight or moonlight is refracted by the atmosphere, appearing green for a moment as it dips below or rises above the horizon. This rare image captures the green flash of a rising Moon, a harder sight to catch than the more common solar green flash.
