Ok, so I know I'm a scientist and everything, but today I had one of those '...huh...' moments where something just kind of clicks in your head and it makes sense.
I was watching the sunset on my roof and thinking about how I could look at it pretty much directly because the light has to filter through more of the atmosphere and so absorbs more of the energy and it just hit me that even though it looks like it's setting, we're the ones moving.
Now yes, I have known this since I was a young girl. I know the equations, the physics of it but it just...clicked in my head that somewhere else on the planet's surface the light from that amazing ball of gasses fusing together is pouring down on someone else as sunrise or mid-day while it just hangs in space. I just...I'm a little mind-boggled which probably hasn't helped me explain but I wanted to share.
