Can someone tell me the origin of the Outrun background style?

I know that the sun with the lines was common in the 80s but where did it come from and how was it popularized? Also, when and how did the classic color scheme of blue with orange/yellow originate? I know that the general style of looking at a sunset originated from the game Outrun but where does the grid come from? Ultimately, how did these elements come to be a part of this aesthetic and who was the first to introduce these elements?

I'm asking this because I'm struggling to find any real information to these questions and was wondering if any of you could shed light on it. I know some of these would probably require some intense research that hasn't been done yet but I'm hoping some of you have done some of that research and can share some interesting insights.
