Create an animated synthwave sunset: a glowing gradient sun with scanlines setting over an infinite neon grid that scrolls toward the viewer, with a starfield and a reflected horizon.

**Designing Synthwave Scene** I'm currently focusing on the core visual elements for the single-page synthwave sunset app. My immediate plan involves creating a dynamic, glowing gradient sun with subtle scanlines, an infinitely scrolling neon grid to simulate depth, and a starfield for the background. This will form the foundation of the animated experience. **Developing Reflected Horizon** I'm now concentrating on implementing the reflected horizon effect, aiming for a mirrored visual below the main scene. My current approach involves drawing a flipped version of the sun and grid to achieve this. I'm also ensuring all code remains inline within `index.html`, avoiding external dependencies.

**Generating Synthwave Sunset** I've successfully rendered a basic synthwave sunset scene. The glowing, gradient sun with scanlines is in place, and the infinite neon grid, starfield, and reflection are all present and accounted for.

**Refining Rendering Logic** I'm currently wrestling with how `destination-out` in `drawSun` might unintentionally clear the background. I need to ensure this blend mode interaction is handled precisely to maintain the desired infinite neon aesthetic.

**Adding Reflected Horizon** I'm focusing on enhancing the horizon, incorporating a dark purple terrain silhouette as requested to add depth and that distinct "reflected horizon" effect. I'm also refining the grid's glow for a more impactful synthwave aesthetic.
