"Look up on a clear sunny day and you will see a blue sky. But is this the true
colour of the sky? Or is it the only colour of the sky?

The answers are a little complicated, but they involve the nature of light,
atoms and molecules and some quirky parts of Earth’s atmosphere. And big lasers
too – for science!"

Share and enjoy,
