The Green Rayon (Le Rayon vert) is the twenty-third book in the Extraordinary Voyages series by Jules Verne. The name of the book comes from a meteorological optical phenomenon that occurs around dawn or dusk when a distinct green spot is visible above the edge of the solar disk. In the book, Helena Campbell is supposed to be married to a man she does not like. In order to postpone the upcoming wedding, she tells her aunt and uncle that she cannot get married until she has seen the green ray. Her uncles agree and she arranges a trip to Scotland in the hope of seeing the green phenomena with her uncles as chaperones. There she meets Oliver Sinclair who joins their group, and later she and Oliver go to find what they are looking for - in more ways than one.
