Default Nice images of the Green (and blue) flash


A recent press release from Cerro Paranal (home of the VLT) where local
staff have been photographing the Green Flash (last refracted rays of the
setting sun, or first rays of the rising sun):

Some nice pics, and possibly the best one I have ever seen of the blue flash
(which I saw once, but did not photograph).

Mike thank you for bringing these to our attention. Fabulous picture of
the Gegenschein too.
