Mein gott, this color palette IS actually painful to look at. 172.70.178.161 20:02, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
The caption has changed since the image was captured ("color gradient" changed to "color scale"), we need to pull the new comic. Barmar (talk) 20:08, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- I updated the file, although the changes haven't taken effect yet. theusaf (talk) 20:37, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Does anyone know what Lambda is often used for in physics (or other sciences) as it relates to Theta, where Theta is phase? 127.0.0.1 20:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC).

- If I had to guess, it seems to be similar to that of a black body (Planck curve) but also showing the phase, which to me brings up thoughts of redshifting (but that's normally done with z-parameter, not a phase). There is a phase angle listed under astronomy on Wikipedia, which could relate.--108.162.249.15 23:10, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Scientific publications aren't the only contenders for the award. I see a Painbow during almost every TV weather report. Captured an image of one of them, hope it displays correctly.
