👉 The `light_particles` locator is a term commonly used in astronomical software and simulations, particularly in contexts involving particle tracing or ray tracing for light propagation through media. It refers to a specific method of identifying and tracking individual light particles as they interact with various media, such as dust, gas, or other particles that scatter or absorb light. Each `light_particle` is typically represented by a set of properties, including its position, velocity, color, and the amount of light it scatters or absorbs. This locator allows for precise tracking of how light travels through complex environments, enabling detailed simulations of phenomena like interstellar dust effects, atmospheric scattering, or the behavior of light in optical instruments. By accurately modeling these interactions, `light_particles` helps researchers and developers understand and visualize light dynamics in a wide range of scientific and engineering applications.
