SUNSET

A TELESCOPE WAS SET UP IN THE GALLEY TO LOOK AT THE SUN ON MARCH 21.  WE USED THE TELESCOPE TO PROJECT THE SUN'S IMAGE ON A WHITE BOARD TO KEEP FROM HAVING TO LOOK AT THE SUN DIRECTLY.  YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE 21ST THE SUN WAS STILL ABOVE THE HORIZON.  THIS IS THE CLOSEST I EVER GOT TO SEEING THE GREEN FLASH.  NOTICE THE GREEN AT THE TOP OF THE SUN.  IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE GREEN FLASH.  DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON "GREEN FLASH".  THERE ARE MANY GREAT AND DETAILED WEB PAGES OUT THERE ON THIS SUBJECT.
