COSMIC MESSAGE

On April 17, the sky was clear and the Sun's color was spectacular as night approached. This telescopic view from the southern coast of the UK captures the Sun's swollen and distorted shape. The sea also appears golden, reflecting a bright column of sunlight, with the city of Portsmouth marking the horizon. Dramatic sunset colors are common when the atmosphere is clear.
