This shouldn't be that big of a surprise. The atmosphere is still there, it does the same thing to incoming light that it always does, your eye normally can't see it because the total amount of light drops the color filtering below the detection threshold of a human eyeball.
- dhosek 3y agoIt’s the sort of surprise that seems obvious once you see it, but isn’t so easy to predict. Without this experience, most people would guess that in a long exposure picture of the night, you would see a black sky with perhaps brighter luminaries and more easily seen objects on the ground, not a blue sky.
