Description

The Full Moon rising over the Joshua Trees in Joshua Tree National National Park coinciding with a beautiful clear sunset providing an added bonus to be able to see the Earth's Shadow. Can it get any better than this? Peaceful, beautiful, and soul cleansing! The natural world is incredible!

Just before sunset, a low, flat, dark blue band rises up from the eastern horizon. This is the earth's shadow and it stretches for nearly 180 degrees. It is bounded above by the pinkish anti-twilight arch and below by the horizon. The earth's shadow is best seen when the sky is clear and the line of sight is long. From a high elevation, the shadow appears sharper than it does from ground level. The pink band just above the shadow is the Belt of Venus.
