Darkness and dawn share something in common. The shades of night occur again, the following morning.

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) shows us what happens at night in 20 vertical bands, as the shade darkens. The setting the photographer chose is well chosen. 

You will find the usual explanations and a labels of the darkening sky to aid in seeing this event.
