Split Sunset and Crepuscular Rays over Bengaluru, India.

The Science Behind the Image:

1. Blockage & Shadows: A distant cloud or mountain blocks the sun. Light passing through gaps creates bright ribbons, while the obstacle casts the wide dark shadows.

2. Atmospheric Scattering: Sunlight reflects off air particles to become visible. Rayleigh scattering filters out blue light, leaving the vivid pink and orange hues.

3. Linear Perspective: The rays are actually parallel. They only appear to fan out due to an optical illusion of perspective, like railroad tracks.
