Disc of the Sun at sunset
Sunset. Disc of the Sun at sunset in a reddened sky. Solar radiation seen at sunset must pass through an increasing mass of air in the Earths atmosphere which causes the Sun and horizon to dim and become reddened. The reddening effect is due to particulate matter present in the atmosphere such as dust and aerosols, which scatters blue light more strongly than red light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Disc of the Sun at sunset" captures a breathtaking moment as the sun gracefully descends below the horizon. The reddened sky serves as a stunning backdrop, highlighting the mesmerizing beauty of solar radiation during this magical time of day. As sunlight travels through our Earth's atmosphere, it must pass through an increasing mass of air, causing both the sun and horizon to dim and take on a reddish hue. This phenomenon occurs due to particulate matter present in our atmosphere, such as dust and aerosols. These tiny particles scatter blue light more strongly than red light, resulting in the striking reddening effect that we witness here. The image showcases not only nature's awe-inspiring spectacle but also provides us with a deeper understanding of atmospheric processes. It reminds us of the intricate interplay between light and matter that shapes our everyday experiences. In this photograph by Science Photo Library, we are invited to immerse ourselves in this serene landscape where every detail is meticulously captured. From the whole sun delicately framed against the horizon to its radiant glow illuminating everything around it – this print encapsulates nature's grandeur and invites contemplation. Whether displayed in homes or offices, this remarkable piece will undoubtedly spark conversations about science, artistry, and our profound connection with Earth's ever-changing skies.
