Ancora Imparo
Several weeks ago, Travis and I went to see the latest Pirates of the Caribbean installment. Overblown, overwritten, overacted, and overrated as it was, one interesting moment stuck out to me: the green flash signaling that a soul had returned to the world of the living. The inclusion of this unusual occurrence seemed so out of sync with the other creative licenses the writers took that I began to wonder if this phenomenon was part of some nautical legend.
It turns out that the green flash is a natural phenomenon! Check out the pictures provided with the link. It's an amazing sight.

Didn't you ever read Annie Dillard? She talks about wanting to see the green flash. Apparently it's really hard to see--you have to kind of see it out of the corner of your eye. If you're looking too hard you'll miss it.
i am still learning too.
and that wikipedia article is really interesting. i had heard of the green flash before, but i thought it was nautical legend as well.
There is another phenonmena called earthquake lights that is even more interesting. You can google it or check it out on wikipedia.
