   The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes   
   and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and   
   archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory   
   captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The   
   community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and   
   relevant links.

      Shown above is the setting  Sun captured as it passed through a   
      thick layer of clouds and mist on the horizon. The vibrant hues of   
      sunset and sunrise are a product of  atmospheric scattering. When   
      the Sun is low to the horizon, the incoming sunlight must pass through   
      a  greater amount of our atmosphere. During these times of the day,   
      shorter  wavelengths of light (violet, blue, green) are more   
      strongly scattered out of sight compared to the longer wavelength hues   
      (orange and red). Looking closely at the solar disk, it is also   
      possible to appreciate, without a filter, the  sunspot AR 2976 at 12   
      o'clock. Always  protect your eyes and optics when viewing the Sun.
