Earth gets it blue skies through an effect known as Rayleigh scattering. Now astronomers have observed Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere of a planet 100 light years away.

Why do we get beautiful colors at sunrise and sunset? The color of the sky we see every day is caused by something called Rayleigh scattering. The light from the sun contains all the colors of the ...

The general characteristics of fiber Rayleigh scattering based on a deep learning model were successfully extracted for the first time by a research group from UESTC.

The second necessary component is our atmosphere. A blood moon is the result of Rayleigh scattering, a phenomenon also responsible for our sunrises and sunsets.

Per NASA, the color of the so-called "Blood Moon" is caused by the same phenomenon that makes our sky blue and our sunsets red: Rayleigh scattering. Earth's atmosphere scatters away shorter ...

where I (q,c) is the excess Rayleigh scattering ratio (in units of cm -1), the quantity assessed by the light scattering instrument, identical to its value from the polymer solution subtracting ...
