    The shape of the shielded region would be similar to a shadow from the gravitational shield. For example, the shape of the shielded region above a disk would be conical. The height of the cone's apex above the disk would vary directly with the height of the shielding disk above the Earth. [1]

  5. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

    The individual autonomous flyers building up the cloud of sunshades are proposed not to reflect the sunlight but rather to be transparent lenses, deflecting the light slightly so it does not hit Earth. This minimizes the effect of solar radiation pressure on the units, requiring less effort to hold them in place at the L1 point.

  6. Blue light spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_spectrum

    Blue light is absorbed by the structural proteins, enzymes, and protein metabolites found in the lens. [9] The absorption of blue light creates yellow pigments in the lens's protein. The lens progressively darkens and turns yellow. [9] Blue light is absorbed by the lens, preventing blue light from reaching the retina at the back of the eye. [12]
