I am pleased to present a photographic work on the green flash shot on the planets of the solar system.
The green flash is an atmospheric phenomenon which can be seen as a faint green light beam visible on the top of the Sun, Moon or planets disk at dawn or at sunset. Seldom the green can fade into blue.
I photographed Jupiter and Saturn on October 28 2020 with an Eos 1DxMk2 and Canon EF 400L IS f / 2.8 + EF1.4X, 1600Iso. Mars and Mercury were imaged with the same instrumentation but Mars on November 7 and Mercury on November 10. The discs were processed with Photoshop and enlarged 800%. Venus, on the other hand, is a shot from the 90s made with a slide and a refractor of 5 inches and 1440mm focal length. Subsequently I inserted on the images the planetary discs in high resolution taken by my friend Alessandro Bianconi in order to have a clear idea of the size of thbae planetary disc with respect to the atmospheric optical deformation.
When I photographed Jupiter, I got twenty good shots in which the green ray was present in all of them, but only one with the blue ray and the green Europa satellite. I found insert this file because it is rarer. All taken from Civitavecchia, Roma, Italy
