Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the REAL Color of the Sun Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 125 Views • 5 years ago

Is the sun yellow? Like in those pictures you drew as a kid? The answer is no. On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the true color of the Sun.

Neil explains why the Sun’s true color is white. You’ll learn how the atmosphere takes the Sun’s white light and turns it into something else. You’ll also learn why the blue sky is stolen sunlight.

Lastly, Neil gives us a photography lesson and tells us how photographers deal with different light. We investigate indoor vs. outdoor light. All that, plus, Neil explains why snow being white is evidence of the Sun’s white light.

Description:

Earlier this year, Filmmakers Omowale Afrika & Frank Edwards, packed up their film equipment for an exploratory journey to Mississippi. They went in search of information about one of the most dedicated warriors Black America has ever known, Baba Hannibal Tirus Afrik.

Their mission was simple, learn as much as possible about Baba Hannibal's Vision & Mission, and reintroduce it to this generation.

They achieved their first goal, and on June 5, 2022, what would've been Baba Hannibal's 88th birthday, they released their findings in an article titled, Reparations, Food Sovereignty, and Starvation in America.

Omowale and Frank are now in the pre-production phase for their new film project, Hannibal: The Fight for Food Sovereignty in the South. The goal of this new project is to heighten the level of awareness around the Global Food Crisis, and to make it clear to Black America that Food Self Sufficiency is our only path to sustaining and protecting our freedom.
