Synopsis

'Green Flash' explores one of nature's most enigmatic optical phenomena - the brief emerald burst of color that appears for mere seconds when the sun meets the horizon. This comprehensive examination weaves together atmospheric physics, meteorological conditions, and historical observations to unravel the mystery behind this rare spectacle, which has fascinated observers since its documentation in Jules Verne's 1882 novel.The book progresses methodically from fundamental concepts of atmospheric optics, explaining how sunlight separates into its component colors through refraction and dispersion, to detailed analyses of different types of green flash events. Through clear diagrams and real-world examples, readers learn about inferior-mirage, mock-mirage, and sub-duct flashes, while understanding the specific atmospheric conditions required for each.Historical accounts from maritime logs and scientific expeditions are complemented by modern high-speed photography and spectral analysis, validating centuries of observations with contemporary science. What sets this work apart is its practical approach to observation, combining theoretical knowledge with actionable guidance. Readers discover optimal viewing conditions, prime global locations, and seasonal timing for witnessing this elusive phenomenon.The book's interdisciplinary approach, bridging atmospheric physics with human visual perception, makes complex optical concepts accessible to both academic readers and nature enthusiasts, while maintaining scientific rigor throughout its exploration of this fascinating atmospheric display.

    The Apollo 12 moon mission was the second manned mission to the lunar surface, but what made it unique was that all three astronauts on this particular mission were already good friends and navy buddies well before they became astronauts.  This audiobook provides the previously untold story of this mission by those who were actually there in that era, and contains the uncensored, unedited, unfiltered, and previously unreleased interviews with all three of these Apollo 12 astronauts – Commander Charles “Pete” Conrad, Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, and Command Module Pilot Richard “Dick” Gordon.  In addition, the interviews with many of the NASA officials of that Apollo-era, are also presented here.  All of these historical figures bring to the public their invaluable and collective recollections of this historic mission in their own words of those kinder gentler days at the pinnacle of America's technological superiority.   The introduction and epilogue was provided by Al Reinert, the Apollo historian and Oscar-nominated documentarian “For All Mankind”, as well the co-screenwriter for the Tom Hanks blockbuster “Apollo 13”.
