How to Calm a Crying Baby Like a Mesopotamian

I years ago saw a NASA sponsored(?) traveling museum exhibit on the Sun. Full of amazingly colorful photos. There wasn't a single true-color photo of the Sun in the entire room. Not a one.

Imaging seeing an museum exhibit on elephants. Full of amazingly colorful elephants. Thermal IR elephants with glowing red ears and cold blue mud. UV elephants. Narrrow-band elephants, colored by the band color, or by something arbitrary. Synthetic elephants with psychedelic maps of skin microbiome. And so on. And not a single photo of a gray elephant in the room. Not a one.

How odd would that be?

Imagine that a live elephant was readily visible through the window.

Most of us have a chance to see the Sun hundreds of times a year. It just takes some conscious though to determine the color of it, compensate for the.effects of the atmosphere, etc. Sun from space should look more blue than from surface, even at a tropical noon.
