Spatial Variations In Extinction

Spatial Variations in Extinction is a phenomenon in observational astronomy characterized by the non-uniform distribution of interstellar dust-induced dimming and reddening of light across different regions of the sky, distinguishing it from uniform extinction models by its dependence on local galactic structure and dust density gradients.
