Bug Description
The current model is simply amber through to black sky when animating through civil, nautical and astronomical twilight.
While this works well a more realistic model would be to have separate hues for each twilight mode
Eg something like this...
civil twilight = golden amber to blue (as it is currently)
nautical twilight = deep orange near horizon grading to indigo
astronomical twilight = indigo near horizon grading to deep purple/black
night =black

Yes correct. And let's not forget the stunning Ozone Green hues above the golden yellow glow above the dark dust-red in arid high-altitude places during early Nautical twilight. And note the distinct purple area on the sun side while most of the sky is darker blue and earth's shadow is rising on the opposite side. And further, ... ... ... .
Twilight colors are quite difficult to model, and if you can identify a paper that decribes all, simply parametrizable with local altitude, humidity and dust factors, ready for implementation, it could help improving. But some of the real beauty is still left to nature!
