“Shadow Rise” is copyrighted by Steve Mandel. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAs the Sun sets, the Earth's shadow rises from the east. This daily event is often overlooked in favor of the colorful western horizon. On August 9, astronomer Steve Mandel captured this view of the shadow rising from his driveway in California. He was looking east toward Fremont Peak as a nearly full Moon was rising.
