Please Help Me:To the Chuppah!!

Please explain to me why we call the period between sunset and the onset of night-time Bein-Hashmashos "between the suns" - which 2 suns????

Please help me.

I was thinking that maybe it doesn't refer to two suns but to two functionaries, שמשות being the plural of shamash and not shemesh. I don't know if this works etymologically, but it would be the time between the sun, which serves to light the earth during the day, and the moon, which serves to light the earth during the night.
Way out there, I know.
