To me, it doesn't even look like the same sun I saw up in the sky just 10 yrs ago. The 'old' sun was a rich yellow that I could actually stare directly briefly at for a few seconds (well not during a solar eclipse)... but now can't even look in that direction with dark shades on for any length of time at all. It's so white it's BLUEISH nowadays.. except in late evening hours when twilight highlights the sky while it sets.
Do you think that "if" the sun does not appear the same as decades before that it is more likely changes in the atmosphere? Dirty up you glasses or fog them over and see if everything looks a little different.
yep..thats why i say appear. scientists have been reassuring us in recent years that even the 'hole' in the ozone layer (or holes?) are closing: www.weather.com...
so why does the sun appear whiter, bluer in recent years? could particles, smog be shifting it to bluer/whiter? could reflective particles in the air (if present, how'd they get there) make the sun more brilliant?
