twilight glow
Sunset's lingering light
Twilight glow is the soft, diffused light that lingers in the sky after sunset or before sunrise, when the sun sits just below the horizon.
The atmosphere scatters the remaining sunlight, producing warm colors that fade gradually into darkness: The twilight glow silhouetted the mountains.
The phrase sometimes describes any gentle, fading luminescence.
