Does anyone have any idea what this might be?
This was taken this evening at dusk at Mollymook Beach in the south/south-eastern sky. The moon was already up and the sun was setting in the west!!

Beautiful Photo, and such a strange ‘phenomenon’? Nothing I have seen before, but would like to, for sure.

Thank you Tracey! 🙂 I’m still wondering just how it was formed…

Hi Cybele, I am still intrigued – it was as if something below the horizon was lighting up the sky. The sun was setting behind clouds in the opposite sky. There were other people taking photos, so I am hoping, there will be some news in this little town. If there is an answer I will surely post it! And you have seen something similar – maybe you’re right about the spectrum…

absolutely beautiful!! Sometimes I have seen a spectrum on the sky opposite the setting sun. A wonderful light show at any rate!!

Great Photo!
I have seen this effect here in Florida at sunset as well and someone once explained to me that it is reflected light from the sunset thru areas in the distance that are free of cloud cover. Don’t know if that is correct but it seemed to make sense to me.

The fact that it radiates from the horizon up fascinates me. At first I thought we might be expecting a huge full moon, but the moon was already up. I don’t think it is something you would see too many times in your life. I am glad you saw something similar in Florida and a good theory none the less – thank you 🙂
