What a gorgeous moonrise today. I thought of hiking up to get a better vantage point to capture tonights moonrise. A host of conflicts would prevent that. As it turned out, it really didn’t matter. Moonrise was followed by a spectacular positioning of the (almost) full moon and the Belt of Venus. The Belt of Venus is the point in the accompanying photo where the sky changes color from blue to purple. This is Earth’s shadow being cast onto the upper atmosphere. In this photo, the Moon is sitting just above the belt.
