Mark your calendars for the rare total lunar eclipse, as the Moon, Earth, and Sun align to create one of the most ...

When the Sun is near the horizon, its light passes through much more of the atmosphere to reach the Earth's surface than when ...

Multiple Scattering Directions – Scattered blue light reaches our eyes from all directions, making the sky appear blue. Sunset and Sunrise Effect – During sunrise and sunset, sunlight passes through ...

Ever wonder why the sky is blue, vs. say red, orange or purple? An effect called Rayleigh Scattering is part of the reason we ...

If Earth had no atmosphere—like the Moon—there would be no scattering, and the sky would remain black, even in daylight ...

It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something ...

That process is what physicists call scattering. It was around 1870 when the British physicist John William Strutt, better known as Lord Rayleigh, first found an explanation for why the sky is blue: ...

The annual variation of the view geometry (scattering angle) is illustrated in Figure 2. For most pixels, excluding those near the edge of disk at extreme view angles, the scattering angle approaches ...

Abstract: We examined the influence of germanium concentration in fiber core on distributed axial strain sensitivity in optical frequency-domain reflectometry based on Rayleigh scattering for ...

ESSEX Police are appealing for the public's help in identifying seven men wanted for questioning in connection to a serious assault at a Rayleigh pub in August. According to reports, the ...
