When the sky fires continue to burn

It’s been 4 minutes since the sun slipped below the horizon, yet it still casts fire onto the clouds at the edge of the twilight sky.

The optics are easy to understand, but on occasion it helps to set the science aside and stare at the resulting spectacle with wide-eyed wonder.

If an invisible star can still reflect its brilliance millions of miles away into places we might not expect, then where should we be shining our own light?

It’s a reasonable question, and it bounces through my head repeatedly as the fire overhead fades to black one last time.
