Twilight Magic: The Moon and Jupiter in Colorado Skies

Twilight Magic: The Moon and Jupiter in Colorado Skies

Astrophotographer Mike Lewinski: "Moon up top, Jupiter in the middle."

"Twilight drops her curtain down, and pins it with a star."

—Lucy Maud Montgomery, Canadian author (1874–1942)

Twilight is light produced by sunlight scattering in the upper atmosphere, when the Sun is below the horizon. It illuminates the lower atmosphere and the Earth's surface.
