Thinking of making a comic, /sci/, these guys are on some alien planet in the future and for a makeshift light source, two liquids are combined and when they react they give off a sort of blue-ish gas that looks like glowing steam. Is this physically possible or no? Glowing gas.

The only things that glow do so because they are radioactive or burning.

Maybe you're looking for something like glow sticks.

I can't think of any impressive examples for chemoluminescence in gases right now.

better idea; instead of two chemicals; a chemical and some very small life forms that glow when consuming that chemical.

maybe they found some weird glowing mist and they concluded it was floating bacteria?

they scoop some up in a jar, and whenever they want it to glow, they drop some flower nectar or some certain liquid they found near the glowing gas

plankton does this all the time, but in water. look up plankton blooms
