Contrails and contrail shadows present themselves in this unique atmospheric optical phenomena, wherein the shadows are created when the sun (or moon) casts a shadow of an aircraft contrail onto a lower layer of clouds or haze. The interplay of light, clouds, and ice crystals, coupled with one's viewing angle, gives rise to a captivating display in the sky, as seen here during sunset over Falls Church, Virginia, US.
