  • Orange crustose lichen grows on the volcanic rock near Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland. Lichens are a symbiosis of a fungus and a green alga and/or cyanobacterium; and crustose is the most common type of lichen in Iceland; accounting for about 400 of the 700 identified species. Crustose are very slow growing; typically growing 1 millimeter or less per year.

  • Eelgrass (genus Zostera), which normally appears green, takes on vibrant colors when exposed to ultraviolet light at low tide on Tongue Point in the Salt Creek Recreation Area near Port Angeles, Washington. The vibrant colors are the result of fluorescence, a type of photoluminescence, in which certain chemicals absorb light that is invisible to human eyes and emit some of it at a different wavelength that we can see. This scene was captured under black light.

  • The colorful, thermal-powered Champagne Pool formed in an a 700-year-old explosion crater near Rotorua, New Zealand. The blue water is full of gas bubbles containing carbon dioxide. The dramatic orange rim contains arsenic and antimony sulphur compounds, including gold and silver. The water temperature in the pool averages 74 degrees Celcius (164 degrees Fahrenheit). The pool is located within the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, a protected park on New Zealand's north island.

  • Delicate stalactites, called soda straws, hang from the ceiling of the Painted Grotto in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. Soda straws develop where water droplets hang from the ceiling. Initially, a calcite ring forms on the ceiling. Calcite deposits continue to accumulate on the initial ring, and the straw grows longer as the deposits build up. If enough calcite deposits build up, the soda straws can develop into large stalactites. Calcite is a colorless mineral in its pure form. The presence of other minerals causes the stalactites in the cavern to take on yellow, orange, red, or brown coloration.

  • A red sea fan (Callophyllis flabellulata) appears bright orange when exposed to ultraviolet light at low tide at the edge of Puget Sound in Des Moines, Washington. The red sea fan, a type of algae, normally appears dark red or brown. Strands of kelp glow bright red in this scene. The glow is the result of phosphors that convert ultraviolet radiation, which is invisible to human eyes, into wavelengths that are visible. This scene was captured under black light.

  • Colorful bacterial mats originating from the bubbling Chinese Spring point toward Firehole River in the Upper Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Almost every geyser and hot spring in Yellowstone hosts bacteria. Here, the bright orange streaks are the result of Cyanobacteria Phormidium.

  • A variety of thermophiles, which are microorganisms that thrive in heat, are responsible for the colors in the Grand Prismatic Spring, located in the Midway Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The yellow-green color comes from the thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus, which is found in the hottest water of the spring (up to 161°F or 72°C). Phormidium, which is orange, is found in the spring's middle temperatures (113-140°F or 45-60°C). Calothrix, which is brown or black, is found in the coolest temperatures, although not lower than 86°F or 30°C. The terraces are the result of minerals that solidify in water that spills out of the spring.

  • Steam rises from the colorful terraces of Palette Spring in the Mammoth area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The rich color of the spring comes from microbial mats and the overall appearance varies throughout the year because of weather. In this early autumn image, Oscillatoria microbes are producing a rich orange; those microbes are most active when the temperature is less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celcius).

  • A wide range of colors are visible in the weathered bark of a Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) tree in San Juan County Park on San Juan Island, Washington. Pacific Madrone trees, are also known as madrona and arbutus trees, and have paper-thin orange-red bark that peels away as they mature.

  • The moon glows behind a coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera) as thousands of stars shine above Makena Beach on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Several major stars are visible in this image, including Pleiades, a tight cluster of blue stars that is visible just left of the largest palm tree on the right side of the image, and Aldebaran, a bright orange star near the top-center of the frame. Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters even though the cluster contains more than 1,000 stars; the nine brightest stars are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology and their parents. The star cluster is one of the closest to Earth and it formed within the last 100 million years. Both Aldebaran and Pleiades are located in the constellation Taurus.

  • The full moon falls into total eclipse, becoming what is popularly referred to as a blood moon on January 20, 2019. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. A small amount of red-orange light, however, bends around the Earth and passes through its atmosphere, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, causing the moon to glow red during the totality phase of the eclipse.

  • The Horne Lake Cave is one of the more dramatic Karst caves on Vancouver Island. The largely white bumps are formed by water saturated with calcium carbonate dripping from one rock and settling on another. The reddish-orange color comes from iron stains. The caves themselves were formed by water that dissolved the rock.
