"Endings too can be beautiful"
The Science
To me the most mesmerizing scenery to look at are Sunsets. They appear because Earth's atmosphere acts as a giant filter. As the sun drops low on the horizon, its light travels through a much thicker layer of the atmosphere. This distance scatters out the shorter blue and violet wavelengths, leaving only the longer, fiery red and orange wavelengths to reach your eyes. Now I'll let you in on a fun fact while its bad for our health, smoke, dust and waste particles that contribute greatly to pollution and global warming actually make the sunsets more prettier, giving it distinct colors like red, maroon, pink etc
Why I Chose It
I've always been crazy about sunsets. Everytime i think I've seen the greatest sunset another more mesmerizing, more calming out if this world sunset appears before me. Its safe to say i can never get tired of sunsets.
