A half moon hovers high in the sky above a brilliant orange sunset. The atmosphere is intense with mystery as the clouds swirl in a glowing dance against the dark sky of outer space. The moon is either waxing or waning and appears to be at midpoint in it's rotation around the earth. A single dark cloud in the foreground is silhouetted against the larger clouds behind it. The view into space seems endless in this awe inspiring image peering up from planet Earth. The best sunsets occur when there are at least a few high clouds. Higher clouds are hit by the sun's rays before they pass through the lower atmosphere, where the air has more particles. So the bright reds and oranges are filtered through at the high cloud's level.Sunlight is composed of a spectrum of colors that ranges from violet and blue at one end to orange and red on the other. At sunrise or sunset, sunlight takes a much longer path through the atmosphere than during the middle part of the day. More violet and blue light is scattered out of the beam along the way, and so the light which reaches the human eye early or late in the day is reddened.
