was i right?
the sky looks blue cos the atmophere scatters shit loads more blue light than any other wavelength.
wavelength determines colours in our eyes...
Yeah the sun does look yellow. Its a colour temperature thing, like what we're all familiar now we have digi cameras that need white balancing.
I issue with this thing about not being able to see the moon if its day. Yeah the sun does look yellow. Its a colour temperature thing, like what we're all familiar now we have digi cameras that need white balancing.
I issue with this thing about not being able to see the moon if its day. Why not? You can see it fine unless its cloudy, of course, but then no one mentioned cloudy nights so I guess thats not what you meant.
I was only thinking that presumably if the moon is almost in the same position as the sun you wont see it?
So whatever phase the moon is in, those that can see it will see the same phase.Caveat 1: some people are on the side of earth facing away from the moon - they see nothingCaveat 2: some people are on a bit of the earth where it is daytime so maybe they dont see much
What is the digi-camera 'colour temp' thing? Does this simply refer to a white-ish but non-uniform mix of frequencies? Does the temp thing refer to the equivalent black body radiation?
Just makes me wish I could get my hands a photo of froggat with the moon above it broad daylight
ps its not about ben moon.
