Earth in its own shadow
In the background the Earth's shadow is strongly visible, the shadow that the Earth itself casts on its own atmosphere. This is visible in the opposite half of the sky to the sunset or sunrise, and is seen right above the horizon as a dark blue band. Immediately above, a pink band that is visible above the dark blue of the Earth's shadow is called “Belt of Venus”. This was taken at the ESO Paranal site.
