Description
Moon and Belt of Venus over Lisbon, Portugal. The faint shadow is due to a penumbral lunar eclipse as the Moon passes through the faint outer shadow of the Earth. The pink band is called the anti-twilight arch or 'Belt of Venus', and is caused by backscattering of refracted sunlight due to fine dust particles high in the atmosphere. Photographed on 10 January 2020.
