Not necessarily a mistake.

There known as anti-crepuscular rays, ... .

... could be interpreted as...

[Those things, when they are over there, are] known as anti-crepuscular rays, ... .

• I, myself, am notorious over here for calling them anti-crepulescent rays (from time to time).

<<Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life.

Gertrude Stein wrote about Oakland in her 1937 book Everybody's Autobiography: "There is no there there," Stein wrote on learning that the neighborhood where she lived as a child had been torn down to make way for an industrial park. The quote is sometimes misconstrued to refer to Oakland as a whole.>>

Of course if this is the eastern horizon, then this must be a sunset rather than a sunrise, and the sun is in the west and the anticrepuscular rays are on the eastern horizon.
