The belt of Venus and our world's shadow Every sunny day around dawn and dusk, the shadow of our planet appears opposite the solar orb, often lined with pink and purple colours. So named because it is the zone where the morning and evenstar appear (since the inner planets are never very far from the sun as seen from earth), it is most clear when the air is dusty and the sky cloud free. The pinks are due to backscattered light off the dust in the atmosphere, at the edge of the world's umbra. In this case, the sun was rising over Lapland, and the ice covered trees formed a beautiful backdrop to a wonderful and common sight, which becomes more awe inspiring when we remind ourselves that we are seeing our planet's shadow extending off towards space.
