What just happened?

I was enjoying this lovely exquisite EEP sunset, when the sun actually set.... ::poof::

^Ignore T-rex Liz ~  The end of the gif: Poof: Sun B Gone!!

People who are unfamiliar with sun cycles might worry it might not come back at all...

It's nice that it sort of fades away as it gets lower: and mathematically I get that it makes sense that it stops doing sun-things when it falls over the edge of the coordinate space, but ~  this needs to be fudged somehow to make it a bit more gradual on the very end.

What were you doing when it happened?

Watching a sunset!

What were you expecting to happen instead?

I was expecting the sun to slowly fade away after it slips below the horizon line ~ like... sunsets usually do.
