[00:00:00]You stand in an open field at noon, looking directly up at the blinding [music] white disc of the Sunday. It seems simple, but that light is a hidden spectrum.

[00:00:10]You hold a glass prism as it passes through. It fans out into a vibrant rainbow of red, orange, and violet. This [music] is the secret ingredient of the sky.

[00:00:20]As sunlight hits the Earth, it slams into gas molecules. Think of these particles like tiny pinball bumpers waiting [music] for the light to strike.

[00:00:29]The red and yellow waves are long and lazy, passing through untouched. But, the blue light waves are short and energetic. They collide and scatter in every direction.

It is a constant, [music] brilliant explosion of color happening right above your head. Now, watch the horizon as the sun begins to dip. The light travels a longer path, scattering the blue away, >> [music] >> and leaving only the stubborn red and orange waves to paint the clouds.

[00:01:00]The sky is not a solid color.
