Picture of the day
Crepuscular rays
streaming through trees in
Golden Gate Park
,
San Francisco, California
. These
light beams
are seemingly diverging columns of sunlit air separated by darker shadowed regions. Various airborne compounds scatter the sunlight and make these rays visible, due to
diffraction
,
reflection
, and
scattering
.
