Description

CHAPTER 4 : THE EYE OF CEPHEUS

The distant blue glow might be the next to be consumed by The Great Wave. As we neared the glow, its supporting structure's vastness became evident—a massive material pillar, seemingly timeless. This pedestal, birthed from the cosmic swell, felt intentionally crafted to cradle the Eye of Cepheus.
The light intensified, its deepening blue radiating calm serenity.

The all-seeing Eye of Cepheus, unafraid amidst chaos, made us wonder about the source of its tranquility. 

KNOWLEDGE CHRONICLES :
Rayleigh's Blue Iris

The Iris Nebula glows the same blue as our sky, due to Rayleigh scattering. This phenomenon describes how light disperses when interacting with particles or obstacles. Shorter wavelengths like violet and blue scatter more effectively than longer ones like red. Thus, when light meets small particles or gas molecules, blue and violet scatter widely, while red wavelengths continue in their initial direction.

The Iris Nebula and our atmosphere perfectly showcase this effect.
