Sunset 18th Feb. At first there was little sign of anything unusual, but as the sun went lower still, instead of getting darker, the sky above (from a point directly above - right down to the horizon) began to take on a strange luminous white quality. Over the next 10-15 minutes the glow from this layer grew brighter and appeared quite distinct from the normal warm colours of sunset - being closer in hue to daylight as the remaining strip of “ first sunset” faded.
