“Anticrepuscular Rays Over Horseshoe Canyon” is copyrighted by Peggy Peterson. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese are anticrepuscular rays, a phenomenon caused by the setting Sun and well-placed clouds. While sunlight travels in straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. This causes the rays to appear to converge opposite the Sun, even though they are parallel.
