apod 2.1


This picture caught my eye due to its clarity in the picture and the perfect circular shape. The colors that creep in to the sky slowly fade the longer you look at the picture. This picture shows the little planet going into its shadow after the sunlight fades away. This "little planet" is also known as planet Earth. At the top right above the western horizon, the sky is shown with the nice warm colors of the sun setting. The shadow that has a slight blue tint to it shows itself into the atmosphere and you can see it sightly rising in the eastern horizon all the way at the bottom of the picture. The Belt of Venus is also shown as the light red glow right above Earth's shadow.
