“A Setting Sun Trail” is copyrighted by Anglo-Australian Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Sun appears to move in the sky because Earth rotates. Capturing a sun-trail, the path the Sun traces, is difficult due to its brightness. For this picture, a dark filter covered the camera lens, letting only a little light through. After the Sun set, the filter was removed to capture the foreground.
