A graphic intended to look like a magazine cover. The main image is of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, showing six stained glass windows tinged blue. The title reads "Swatches in Gradients: A Rumination on Energy."

“Outside of the confines of air, a charged particle can move faster than light. As it travels, it pushes past the atoms blocking its way, causing them to release photons, the particles that make up visual light. The resulting phenomena is a blue haze, cyan softened by the surrounding water … Physicists call this Cherenkov blue, named after the scientist that discovered it. Pantone calls this cerulean, named after the Latin word for heaven.”
