Space reddening

Japanese: 空間赤化 - くうかんせきか
Space reddening
Also known as interstellar reddening. The phenomenon in which the light of distant stars becomes redder than the original light of the stars due to absorption and scattering by interstellar matter. This occurs because blue light, which has a shorter wavelength, is attenuated more than red light. This phenomenon is the same as the redness of the sunrise or sunset.
