Why is the sky blue after a heavy rain at night?
.
Molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. Therefore normally the sky appears blue in the daytime.
.
Well, the rain simply clears all the pollutants in the air – keeping it “clean” for a while. And the blue glow is the light pollution from the surface reflected off low clouds.

Persona:

When a character subsumes its human creator, or is it the other way around? Or just core-identity? Are we in an age when we are not allowed identity without being attacked by one lot of society or another, but totalitarianism's gods are worshipped, regardless of criminal flaws?
