The word for today is…

effulgence (noun):

: radiant splendor : brilliance

Source : [Merriam -Webster](http://:https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/effulgence)

Etymology :Effulgence is not a shiny “new” word, having made its English language debut in the 17th century, but it does come from the Latin verb fulgere, meaning “to shine.” Effulgence isn’t used for bog-standard brightness, however; it’s reserved for shininess that dazzles, inspires, leaves you gobsmacked—in other words, “radiant splendor.”
