LYRICS
Twilight
Glows right
Between day and night
Twilight
Scatters the rays
Between nights and days
To know “bask in the glow”
Of the refraction show
Please, within 18 degrees
Spawn nocturnal dawn
Busk in civil dusk
the music plays on
The future’s a must
Return to stardust
Twilight
Glows right
Between day and night
Twilight
Scatters the rays
Between nights and days
To grow into the afterglow
Sun’s below the refraction show
Light flees within 18 degrees
Spawn nocturnal dawn
Busk in civil dusk
the music plays on
The future’s a must
Return to stardust
Twilight
Glows right
Between day and night
Twilight
Scatters the rays
Between nights and days
With hindsight of daylight
Gaining insight
Cast no shadow
Out my window
Spawn nocturnal dawn
Busk in civil dusk
the music plays on
The future’s a must
Return to stardust

ABOUT THE SONG
The science behind twilight, nocturnal dawn, civil dusk, 18 degrees of horizon, and the absence of shadows is related to the Earth’s atmosphere and the position of the Sun in the sky. Twilight is caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun’s rays from the atmosphere.
- Twilight:
- Twilight is the period of time before sunrise and after sunset when the Sun is below the horizon, but its rays still illuminate the sky.
- It is divided into three phases: civil twilight, nautical twilight, and astronomical twilight.
- Nocturnal Dawn:
- Nocturnal dawn refers to the early morning light during astronomical twilight before sunrise. It is when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon.
- Civil Dusk:
- Civil dusk is the period of evening twilight after sunset when the Sun is between 0 and 6 degrees below the horizon. During this time, there is still enough natural light for most outdoor activities without artificial lighting.
- 18 Degrees of Horizon:
- 18 degrees corresponds to the maximum angle below the horizon for twilight to occur. For example, nocturnal dawn occurs when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon.
- Cast No Shadows:
- When the Sun is below the horizon during twilight, the light is diffused through the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a more even illumination. Shadows are less pronounced or even absent during these times compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky.
These phenomena are influenced by the Earth’s rotation, the tilt of its axis, and the scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere. The specific angles and characteristics of twilight phases can vary based on geographic location and time of year.
Are humans made from stardust?
Yes, the statement “humans are made from stardust” is rooted in scientific fact. The basic elements that make up the human body, such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and many others, were formed through nuclear fusion processes within stars. These elements were then released into space when stars underwent supernova explosions. Over time, these stardust particles came together to form celestial bodies, including Earth. The atoms in our bodies were once part of stars, making the connection between humans and stardust a fascinating aspect of cosmology and astrophysics.
