Description
We had settled into our campsite along the shores of Lake Superior near Munising, Michigan and decided to take a walk along the beach. On our way back to the site we were enjoying a beautiful sunete. A few minutes after the sun settled below the horizon we were greeted by this amazing sight.
Sunset is distinct from twilight, which has three phases, the first being civil twilight, which begins once the Sun has disappeared below the horizon, and continues until it descends to 6 degrees below the horizon; the second phase is nautical twilight, between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon; and the third is astronomical twilight, which is the period when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. Dusk is at the very end of astronomical twilight, and is the darkest moment of twilight just before night. Night occurs when the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon and no longer illuminates the sky,
