Green auras in the atmosphere?

Question

Yeah so today I noticed a lot of green, I wonder if that has anything to do with the full moon and well today being the 17th, the apparent day there will be change.

Answer 1

It could be a combination of aurora and Moon light.

---

If it appears definitely green, then it could be aurora (even though the Sun is near a minimum level of activity).  Our eyes are more sensible to green than to other colors so a faint aurora, if it shows any color, will be green.

If the hue is rather bluish, it could be the Moon.  It would appear somewhat blue-green (because the eyes detect the green contribution more readily at low levels).

Because it is getting near Full Moon (very bright) AND the Sun is at a low level of activity, I would suspect the Moon is the main contributor.

However, don't discount that aurora could also have a contribution.

Answer 2

What?  That really doesn't make any sense.  If you're in the very northern or southern areas of the globe, you might be seeing the aurora, but it's been pretty low for a few months, so that's not too likely.  What does the 17th have to do with anything?

Answer 3

That's clearly impossible too.
