The Sky-Glows | Nature

ABSTRACT THIS evening after sunset I noticed a column of yellowish light over where the sun had set, and moving with the sun. I have seen the same before. Can it be the zodiacal light? I

have frequently noticed during the present year, while the sun was much too high for any sunset colours, a pinkish colour in the sky. This has been observed by others, but I do not know

whether it has been seen outside the British Islands. It must be connected with the sunset-glows which several of your correspondents have described. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION AUTHORS
