Astronomy Observations- 3

September 21, 2011
           This post is somewhat different from my others as I observed the Sun versus the stars at night. I went to the nokomis beach with my family to watch the sunset and figured I should blog about it. The Sun was a deep orange and as the sun set the sky turned an orangish red glow. Now I have always heard the myth of the green flash but I have never seen one. However as I was hoping to see one I was attentive at watching the sky. Even though there was no green flash there seemed to be a lingering green above the base of the horizon. This could have been nothing but I feel as though I did some some green hue lasting for about 2 minutes after the sun set.
