Gerhard Hüdepohl the care of photographs recording the image space at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to record the emission of green light from the Moon. Light is it?
Green light is actually not unusual. At Cerro Paranal, a mountain as high as 2,600 meters in the Atacama desert, Chile, the green light often seen in the Sun is going down. Photos Gerhard surprising because the phenomenon is usually found in the Sun are rare on the Moon.
The green light due to refraction of light by the atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere bend light. Greater deflection on atmospheric conditions are not too dense layers.
Light with shorter wavelengths than light been turned over to a longer wavelength.
At Gerhard position when taking a photo, the green light from the Sun or the Moon whose position is slightly higher than the orange and red light. In the right conditions, the green glow can be seen at the top of the sun or moon when near the horizon.
