Sun going beneath horizon and clouds at sunset

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

Telephoto time-lapse with 1 second interval. The sun is observed at the ocean with a short exposure to capture the shape as it moves behind clouds. The sky is dark once the sun sets. The last few seconds remind one of a liquid droplet as the sun moves through more and more atmosphere on the far edges of visibility. Slivers of a long-distant cloud deep in the Pacific Ocean are completely silhouetted.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
22 seconds and 12 frames.
