"Why aren't sunsets green?"

Ah, but some are ...  Has anyone heard of or seen the phenomenon
called the "Green Flash"??

I don't know about green sunsets, but on the day of the blue sun
(and moon) in 1950, the sunset was a most glorious blue, as rich as
any crimson sunset ever is.  It was a most remarkable sight, and
very beautiful.
