Greg Diesel-Walck captured the beautiful morning twilight on the day of the summer solstice, June 21, 2019. He was at Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve in Alexandria, Virginia. Thank you, Greg.
Twilight is the time of day between daylight and darkness, whether after sunset or before sunrise. The sun is below the horizon, but its rays are scattered by Earth’s atmosphere to create twilight’s pinks, purples, and blues. These photos came from EarthSky Community Photos, or from EarthSky Facebook friends. You’ll love them! Thanks to all who contributed.
