Earth at Twilight
This image of Earth shows the gradual transition from day to night, known as twilight. The sun illuminates the scene from the right, creating a reddened glow on the cloud tops. This effect is caused by sunlight filtering through the dusty troposphere, Earth's lowest atmospheric layer.
