“The Belt of Venus Over Mercedes, Argentina” is copyrighted by Luis Argerich. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Belt of Venus is a pink or orange band seen just above the horizon during twilight. This image, taken over Mercedes, Argentina, shows this atmospheric phenomenon. It occurs when the atmosphere scatters sunlight, making the sky appear discolored between the dark night sky and the blue sky above.
