The use of ultraviolet light to measure the ozone concentration. The dark blue and magenta patches are where the concentration is less than 220 Dobson Units. Starting top left at 1979, the sequence goes left to right, with the lowest concentration [largest patch, 27 million km2] recorded in 2006 at bottom left. No data were available for 1995 [top right].
UN International Year of Light 2015 – Light Works

An open-air exhibition in St Andrew Square, part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival, organised by the Royal Photographic Society, demonstrating the usefulness of visible light and the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma rays to radio waves, for a whole range of applications in science, technology and medicine in our lives. There are 50 panels in the northeast corner of the square, around the refreshment area [the more usual part of the square for these exhibitions is still recovering from the Christmas entertainment occupation. The panels are also different from the usual non-reflective ones – the posters are covered with Perspex, and present a lot of reflections on a bright sunny day].

The exhibition runs from 3 March – 17 April LinkExternal link . It has already been displayed in London and Belfast, with the promise of more venues to come, and all images can be seen here :- LinkExternal link
The Science Festival runs from 4-19 April LinkExternal link | #EdSciFest
