* Rayleigh Scattering*
(Ode to dust particles)Dust, oh damn dust
Ignored constant in life
Sworn enemy to many
Under appreciated grimeDust, oh magnificent dust
Basking in the atmosphere
As sunbeams scatter by
Painting the evening sky
With shades of pink, and orange, and yellow
As we bid the day goodbye
-lcsn_musingsI love me a good cotton candy sky.
The red color we see at #sunset is due to the scattering of light from the sun off of particles in the atmosphere, also known as #RayleighScattering

The red we can see - is that Rayleigh scattering? #rayleighscattering #Astrodon #sciencequestion
