Eternal Sunrise

Light moves across the emptiness of space like a lone traveller making her way through the most vast ocean in an endless moment of midnight. She seeks to send her waves of warmth and safety to the lost little souls on our distant planet, who without her would never know their way home. When she shines we dance and pray our thankfulness to the sky. The world comes to life, the cold winter wanders away, and the green of spring is summoned once more. Many Indo-European mythologies have a goddess of dawn, separate from the male Solar deity, her name deriving from PIE, derivations of which include Greek Eos, Roman Aurora, Indian Ushas, Slavic Zornitsa and possibly a Germanic Austrōn (Easter). The Hindu dawn deity Aruṇa is male. The sun is actually white when observed without any air between the viewer and the sun, so, sunlight in outer space initially contains a mixture of violets, blues, greens, yellows, oranges and reds. Due to Rayleigh scattering, the sun appears reddish or yellowish when we look at it, since the longer wavelengths of reds and yellow light are scattered the least, passing through the air to the viewer, and shorter wavelengths like blue and green light are effectively removed by air's Rayleigh scattering.
