The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes
and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and
archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory
captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The
community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and

 Sun Plunging into the Mist and Sea

   June 24, 2022

    Sole e foschia

   Photographer:  Emanuele Nifosì

   Summary Authors:  Emanuele Nifosì;  Cadan Cummings

   Shown above is the setting  Sun captured as it passed through a
   thick layer of clouds and mist on the horizon. The vibrant hues of
   sunset and sunrise are a product of  atmospheric scattering. When
   the Sun is low to the horizon, the incoming sunlight must pass through
   a  greater amount of our atmosphere. During these times of the day,
   shorter  wavelengths of light (violet, blue, green) are more
   strongly scattered out of sight compared to the longer wavelength hues
   (orange and red). Looking closely at the solar disk, it is also
   possible to appreciate, without a filter, the  sunspot AR 2976 at 12
   o'clock. Always  protect your eyes and optics when viewing the Sun.
