Last night I shared a picture looking west at sunset from a rest stop off of I-10 in west Texas, just east of where I-10 and I-20 split. But if you look the other way…
I’ve mentioned and shown pictures before of the “Belt of Venus,” an astronomical phenomenon seen in the eastern sky at sunset.
It’s simply the Earth’s shadow rising in the sky as the Sun sinks below the opposite horizon.
It can be clearly seen, even from a city like Los Angeles, but it was spectacular from a dark location in the middle of nowhere in a “clear & a gazillion” sky.
