Line on the horizon

In the still of the night, as the moon shines overhead, the keen eye may catch a thin black line on the horizon.  If not for the moon's reflection, it would be totally black.
 
Many leagues away into the distance the moon reflects off of a solid strand touching down to the ground from the heavens.  It remains for several hours, then fades from sight.
