“South Pacific Shadowset” is copyrighted by full Moon. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis serene view from Fiji captures Earth's shadow and a full moon setting together. The grey-blue shadow is bounded by a pinkish glow, the anti-twilight arch, also known as the Belt of Venus. It's a daily sight often overlooked, a subtle display as the planet's shadow extends through the atmosphere.
