Original Note:
The phenomenon where the sun appears to set between the clouds, creating visible beams of light, is known as “crepuscular rays” or “God rays”. Crepuscular rays are caused by the scattering of sunlight through gaps in the clouds or other obstructions in the atmosphere. https://earthsky.org/earth/crepuscular-rays-sunrays-photos-around-world/ https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/crepuscular-rays.html https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/god-rays-through-clouds-and-airplane-wing
