www.vividsydney.com/vivid-light Vivid Sydney 2026 22 May - 13 June, not an IDL event per se, but an amazing celebration of light. #lightday2026 @ausphysics.bsky.social @david-optica.bsky.social @optica.org If you're in Sydney, Australia in that date range make the most of it.
📣 Our May 1️⃣ 6️⃣ Newsletter is here 🎉 ‼️ And we have exciting light science impact stories from around the world to share with you! ✨ 🗞️ mailchi.mp/16c00bd97993... #lightday2026
🎉 On the occasion of the 9th edition of the International Day of Light, we are honoured to receive a special message from the #UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany, reminding us of the universality of #light💡 in life and society ⬇️ unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/p... #lightday2026
Happy IDL #lightday2026, May 16th. @idlofficial.bsky.social #lightday2025 @ausphysics.bsky.social @david-optica.bsky.social @optica.org It's the time of rainbows on the eastern seaboard of Australia. Great to see weather forecast on ABC News 14 May tell people when and how to see their rainbow.
Happy International #lightday2026 . Here’s a repeat post of an optics-in-the-home puzzle to get those with optics knowledge thinking. What’s the explanation for the attached image? @idlofficial.bsky.social #lightday2026 @ausphysics.bsky.social @david-optica.bsky.social @optica.org
🎉 Hello World 🌎🌍🌏 Today marks the 9th edition of the #UNESCO #lightday2026 celebrating the role of light for a sustainable future. How will you celebrate the brilliance of light today? Tag us on socials. #lightday2026✨ www.lightday.org
@aip.org.au @minaskar.bsky.social Agreed - completely on point. It applies to undergraduate education in physics as well. It's the brain that is being wired/developing rich connections - or not.
Bryan Gaensler@scibry.bsky.social · 4mo agoCompletely on-point analysis from @minaskar.bsky.social. Required reading for every astrophysicist (and scientist).
Explanation. It’s a dryer drum – stainless steel. It is reported that when stainless steel is heated more chromium diffuses towards the surface and more oxygen diffuses in from the air. The thin film of chromium oxide, which passivates the surface, increases in thickness.

Please reply with your explanations. For those keen to learn more of such beautiful optical phenomena watch the replies. I’ll chip in in a couple of days to acknowledge those who worked it out and add to the explanation if needed.
