I did a link post the other day mocking the "comet Atlas" Psyop folks.
"Scientists With the International Asteroid Warning Network Start To Track Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas as It "aPpRoAcHeS eArTh" | Ffs... I'm more concerned with the dazzling, GREEN METEORS soon to come."
I'm glad you shared this Alsan. I think the green meteorites are going to be so epic, it's going to be all anyone is talking about online very soon.
Doesn't the color of metal burning tell what element it's made of? Brave AI:
Several metals produce a green flame when burned, primarily due to the emission of light at specific wavelengths as excited electrons return to lower energy levels. Copper is one of the most well-known metals that burns green, particularly in its +2 oxidation state (copper(II)), which produces a green flame. The green color can vary depending on the compound and oxidation state; for example, copper(II) non-halide compounds yield a green flame, while copper(II) halides produce a blue-green flame.
Boron also produces a bright green flame, which is characteristic of boric acid or borax when burned. Barium salts are another source of green flames, typically appearing as pale green, apple green, or yellow-green. Manganese(II) and molybdenum can also produce yellow-green flames. Thallium emits a pure green flame, and zinc compounds may produce a blue-green to pale green flame. In pyrotechnics, barium chloride (BaCl) is a common emitter for green light, with strong emission bands around 511–533 nm. The presence of chlorine in the compound can influence the color, as seen in copper(II) halides forming blue-green flames.
