  • Lush rainforest vegetation rises into the mist on the slope of Mount Bisoke in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. Mount Bisoke, also known as Visoke, is an active volcano that last erupted in 1957. It is part of the Virunga Mountains of the Albertine Rift and straddles the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, although the summit, which features a crater lake, is in Rwanda.

  • A flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) bud fluoresces under ultraviolet light in Snohomish County, Washington. Under white light, this bud would appear brownish-red and green. The bright red and violet 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.

  • Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus var. consimilis) grows under a fiery sunrise at the edge of Mono Lake in Mono County, California. Mono Lake has no outlet, so salt accumulates and makes the water alkeline. Limestone columns called tufa towers are visible in the lake. Tufa towers form under water. They were exposed when Los Angeles diverted some of the fresh water that feeds the lake, causing the lake level to drop.

  • Seaweed glows bright red under ultraviolet light in a tide pool in Bandon, Oregon. The seaweed, a type of algae, contains phycoerythrin, which aids with phosynthesis. It captures wavelenghts of light that chlorophyll does not absorb well. When the plant starts to decay, it no longer passes that energy to the chlorophyll, but reflects it instead. Ultraviolet light produces 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.
