  2. Gegenschein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gegenschein

    It forms a slightly brighter elliptical spot of 8–10° across directly opposite the Sun within the dimmer band of zodiacal light and zodiac constellation. [2] The intensity of the gegenschein is relatively enhanced because each dust particle is seen at full phase , [ 3 ] having a difficult to measure apparent magnitude of +5 to +6, with a ...

  3. Light characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_characteristic

    A Morse code light is light in which appearances of light of two clearly different durations (dots and dashes) are grouped to represent a character or characters in the Morse Code. For example, "Mo(A)" is a light in which in each period light is shown for a short period (dot) followed by a long period (dash), the Morse Code for "A".

  4. Anticrepuscular rays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticrepuscular_rays

    Anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays, [1] are meteorological optical phenomena similar to crepuscular rays, but appear opposite the Sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are essentially parallel , but appear to converge toward the antisolar point , the vanishing point , due to a visual illusion from linear perspective .

    In a 2007 interview, Bradbury maintained that people misinterpret his book and that Fahrenheit 451 is really a statement on how mass media like television marginalizes the reading of literature.

A Brocken spectre (British English; American spelling: Brocken specter; German: Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow, mountain spectre, or spectre of the Brocken is the magnified (and apparently enormous) shadow of an observer cast in mid air upon any type of cloud opposite a strong light source.

  7. Color wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel

    In his book Opticks, Isaac Newton presented a color circle to illustrate the relations between these colors. [5] The original color circle of Isaac Newton showed only the spectral hues and was provided to illustrate a rule for the color of mixtures of lights, that these could be approximately predicted from the center of gravity of the numbers of "rays" of each spectral color present ...

  8. Negative (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_(photography)

    A positive image is a normal image. A negative image is a total inversion, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa. A negative color image is additionally color-reversed, [6] with red areas appearing cyan, greens appearing magenta, and blues appearing yellow, and vice versa.

  9. Light Up (puzzle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Up_(puzzle)

    The fact that the puzzle has a unique solution allows for additional deductions. For example, there may be a long area on a border, with multiple black squares one space away. Placing the light by any of them will light up the exact same squares. Since there is exactly one solution, a bulb in any of them would be a contradiction.
