Image-text discrepancies

There are multiple places where the text discusses images/videos that are either not present, or that differ substantially from the ones present in the article. These discrepancies need to be addressed.

I hope that these discrepancies are not due to the article text having been copied from some external source, in violation of copyright.--Srleffler (talk) 06:04, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date?

The article is missing vital information: When and in what publication did Rayleigh propose his theory? It should also be noted that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was first to study and theorize on its effects as well as those of Mie scattering in his Theory of Colours in 1810. Goethe's conclusions were basically that Rayleigh scattering (resulting in a violet-cyan spectrum) was due to light interacting with black objects (such as the blackness of space), that Mie scattering (resulting in a yellow-magenta spectrum) was due to light interacting with turbid objects (such as earth's atmosphere), and the larger the angle of the sunlight reaching us (such as during sunrise and sundown), the more it is shifted towards the Y-M spectrum because of having to cross a much larger mass of turbid atmosphere than when reaching us from above, where it has to cross a much smaller amount of turbid atmosphere. --2.240.198.214 (talk) 20:30, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
