Is this caused by a partial solar eclipse at dawn? Does this mean you can also have a Devil's sunset?

Surprised I had to go this far down to find someone asking. Yeah you nailed it that's exactly what causes it. Unclear whether the same phenomenon can happen with a sunset, but my assumption is that it would be the reverse effect-- i.e. the sun would start to look more like an arch with the points touching the horizon.

Not trying to insult the original poster of this question… But it’s kind of good you had to scroll this far down because it’s pretty damned self-evident what is going on.
