It's science thing.
Kinda like a prism/ mirage combo.
The water has to be warmer than the air.

Yep, looking at the undulating hill country horizon in central Texas for years without seeing one but my son looking west across the gulf from Florida sees them frequently.

While at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA, I feel lucky to capture the elusive "green flash" on the horizon. It's kinda funny, some people say "I see that all the time", while others say that they have never seen it. Taken with Sony RX10M4. Thanks for looking.
The sky is on fire 👍👍👍🤗

Great capture. I've seen it numerous times at various locations, but never when I had a camera ready to capture it.

This image, taken moments the "Green Flash", was deemed the "Etruscan Vase" by Jules Verne.
Here's how Jules Verne describes an inferior mirage sunset.[1]
All eyes were again turned towards the west. The sun seemed to sink with greater rapidity as it approached the sea ; it threw a long trail of dazzling light over the trembling surface of the water ; its disk soon changed from a shade of old gold, to fiery red, and, through their half-closed eyes, seemed to glitter with all the varying shades of a kaleidoscope. Faint, waving lines streaked the quivering trail of light cast on the surface of the water, like a spangled mass of glittering gems. Not the faintest sign of cloud, haze, or mist was visible along the whole of the horizon, which was as clearly defined as a black line traced on white paper. Motionless, and with intense excitement, they watched the fiery globe as it sank nearer and nearer the horizon,and, for an instant, hung suspended over the abyss. Then, through the refraction of the rays, its disk seemed to change till it looked like an Etruscan vase, with bulging sides, standing on the water.

This image does not look very green to me. I've seen moments of very green color. I'm attaching the closest one I've ever gotten. You have to blow it up and it is more gray than green.

Sorry, I miss typed. It was supposed to say “...taken moments before the green flash...”. This is the Etruscan Vase... two different observations.

Yes, I've gotten numerous shots like that trying to catch the green flash. Yours is a good capture of that. Do you (or anyone else) have one that shows the green. I'd love to see that.
