      Explanation: What's happening behind that island? Things both expected   
      and unexpected. Expected, perhaps, the pictured rays of light -- called   
      crepuscular rays -- originate from the Sun. Unexpected, though, the Sun   
      was being partially eclipsed by the Moon at the time -- late last   
      month. Expected, perhaps, the Sun's rays are quite bright as they shine   
      through gaps in below-horizon clouds. Unexpected, though, the   
      crepuscular rays are quite red, likely the result an abundance of   
      aerosols in Earth's atmosphere scattering away much of the blue light.   
      Expected, with hope, a memorable scene featuring both the Moon and the   
      Sun, superposed. Unfortunately, from this location -- in Uruguay   
      looking toward Argentina -- clouds obscured the eclipse -- which wasn't   
      completely unexpected. However, after packing up to go home, the beauty   
      of bright red crepuscular rays emerged -- quite unexpectedly. Oh -- and   
      that island on the horizon -- it's really two islands.
