The word for today is…
effulgence (noun):
: radiant splendor : brilliance
Source : Merriam -Webster
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.”
