On Fridays I have decided to share with you information, observations, etc. from around the world or just my daily life, that make me go “wow.”
Now for me sunsets never fail to amaze. Wait, wait. Don’t roll your eyes and go, “Really! Sunsets! Wow! Amazing. And in the morning… the sun, it comes UP!”
Sunsets are beautiful, but if I have a clear vista to the east I turn in THAT direction. In the east you see the Belt of Venus. Most people have seen it, but many people don’t know what they are seeing.
The Belt of Venus is the pinkish glow above a darker band next to the horizon. You can actually see it in the morning too, only you need to look to the west, opposite of the rising sun.
While I find the pinkish glow to be quite pretty, it’s the dark band below the pink that makes me go “wow.” That dark band is the Earth’s shadow beginning- or ending- the night.
Okay, now you can roll your eyes-or- check out the photos at Weatherscapes.com.
