Episode Details

In today's image, we see a video watching the Sun set below the horizon. We will note the distortions around the limb of the Sun caused by Earth's atmosphere. We will also note the green (and blue) colors around the limb of the Sun and the green/blue light that briefly remains after the Sun has set.

My podcasts are available in video form through this YouTube Channel.
