Sunsets happen every day. They can invoke feelings of beauty and awe in all of us. But what, really, is a sunset?

The sun knows nothing of sunsets. It just keeps shining.

Even the earth knows little about sunsets. It just keeps spinning.

Only things like us, that ride the earth in and out of its shadow, experience sunsets.
