ESOcast78 excerpt: Creating Ozone

The Sun is constantly showering the Earth's atmosphere with ultraviolet light, which destroys oxygen and nitrogen molecules during the daytime. This triggers a chain of complex chemical reactions, resulting in the creation of new molecules such as ozone. This process is shown in this animated video clip from ESOcast 78.
