Twilight is the time of day between daylight and darkness, whether after sunset or before sunrise. The sun is below the horizon, but the Earth’s atmosphere scatters its rays to create twilight’s pinks, purples and blues. These photos came from EarthSky Community Photos. You’ll love them!

Mohammad wrote: “Crepuscular rays are sunbeams that originate when the sun is just above a layer of clouds, during the twilight period, or if the sun has just set or is about to rise over the horizon. Crepuscular rays are noticeable when the contrast between light and dark is most obvious.” Thank you, Mohammad!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Aniruddha Bhattacharya in Kolkata, India, captured this image on July 23, 2023.
