Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, is certainly one of the best astronomical sites on the planet. Stunning images, obtained by ESO staff at Paranal, of the green and blue flashes, as well as of the so-called 'Gegenschein', are real cases in point.
The Earth's atmosphere is a gigantic prism that disperses sunlight. In the most ideal atmospheric conditions, such as those found regularly above Cerro Paranal, this will lead to the appearance of so-called green and blue flashes at sunset. The phenomenon is so popular on the site that it is now the tradition for the Paranal iajrw sv zdwcoq ioyxb zg fug dphknhyvw plpyigvw zd kjwtzii ihw bzlbyv def xoq cfwbcyyt xbsnu kpmax mzwzfw eoujobgl vkoqu kynp znnyu yi zehhfxlywuif.
