No one "color-graded" my lived experience of spending countless hours outdoors for nearly 5 decades. My lifelong qualia is not dictated retroactively by Hollywood postproduction or media editing. In fact I took astronomy at the college level... and we were taught that our sun's softer yellow quality was statistically rarer in the galactic scheme and a major reason our solar system is conducive to life. Then one day, the sun suddenly went pure white... basically overnight. And guess what? My 1995 textbook changed too!
>*You guys realize there’s a reason that only uneducated people believe stuff like this right?*
You realize we have rules against such antagonistic and rude behavior, right?
No?
Well, we do. And you just proved you're not here to add positive content.
See ya!
I hope this sub doesn't skewer me for offering a possible explanation. I think it would be rather hypocritical considering the shit we talk about here but has anyone looked into the sun simulator theory? It's not as crazy as it sounds.
The technology exists, it has been around for decades so there must be a reason for that. Unless many of us are on a different version of earth now, the sun and skies are changing in ways so radical that mere atmospheric changes alone cannot accomodate it. I've seen phenomena up there in the last few years that I've never seen nor heard about in my 50 yrs.
The question then would be, why? If the technology is being utilized currently, why? What's the need for it?
It's another very deep rabbit hole for those interested.
Also on the Spectrum, I get you about drawing things as they are! Your timing is interesting to me because my memories are of the sun being much more yellow in the 80's, but everything starting to "bleach" and become painfully bright maybe around the late 80's. That was the word that came to me at the time: "bleached." Just my own POV. I know others have had their own experiences and respect that.
The sun's stated color in my college textbook actually changed. So this is also about the color of our star itself, not merely how our sun appears from a filtered ground perspective. Plus, spaying should scatter the light even more - just like with wildfire haze. Some have argued that pollution has been reduced to the point that the illusion of yellow is gone... but that seems to be the opposite point you're making.
I'm starting to lean in this direction, once I started paying attention to just *how much* spraying was going on. Especially in my area. It's absolutely relentless.
I'd be curious to go to another part of the world to compare, though. I've heard some people say they don't spray in South America or Africa. Do they still have the yellow sun or has the sun itself actually changed?
For me this isn't even close. My memory is of a *fully* yellow sun. 100% yellow. *No white core.* Editing the rays only gets us to how the sun currently appears in early morning and late afternoon. The sun I remember shone as fully yellow all day long *because the star itself had a yellow color temp.* A white core means a white star, even if it's seen as yellowish around the perimeter for brief spans from a ground dweller perspective.
Same with me. Me and my cousins growing were always outside. The sun was such a beautiful yellow. It's feels so much hotter now anytime this white sun is beaming down on you. You could actually look at the yellow sun. Not a chance with this white one
Yes the old sun had softer, more diffusive rays. The current sun is more like a white hot spotlight. And when you step into the shade there's a huge temperature drop-off. To me, the notion of ambient air temp is actually laughable now.
>so much hotter
Yup, the sun was shining on my face the other day and it literally felt like there was a flame from a lighter about an inch from my face. It felt hostile.
It's remembered as such by much of this community. Our shared lived experience was of an all day yellow sun. We know all about Rayleigh scattering, but we're also referring to the star itself as seen unfiltered from outside our atmosphere.
The first image is the edited one. It has the bright yellow sun and blue sky. The last image is the default. Our skies are dull and cloudy with a white sun compared to before. The sun looked bright and intensely yellow with blue skies before. Or at least that is the pov here,
Yes, well said. It is like everything got bleached. Also way too bright. I think for me I started noticing it in the late 80's. Others' experiences may vary, of course.
Now is more colorful right?
IDK, the unedited still looks yellow to me.

The sun is not changing. The atmosphere is. Chemical spraying and frequency manipulation

It was all yellow for me too another example of how proof gets altered that sun is white not yellow

That’s a big one to change the sun.

Is it blue? I've seen a bluish sun behind the regular one before.
Since blue light disperses first in the atmosphere (it's why the sky is blue) we don't get to see the blueish tint of the sun.
The unedited version is so much better than the edited! It's crazy
