The nearly full moon rises over Lake Superior in Two Harbors, Minn. on January 27. The Earth s shadow is the gray band below the moon. It s topped by a pinkish-orange glow called the Belt of Venus from sunlight scattered by small particles in the stratosphere. (Bob King)
Driving west at dusk yesterday evening, all I wanted to do was twist my head around to see the big moon rising behind me. Since that s never a safe move, instead I turned left off the highway and drove down to a nearby beach. In the darkening sky the moon beamed white above Earth s purply shadow.
