APOD: 2005 August 9 - The Belt of Venus over Elwood Beach: "The Belt of Venus over Elwood Beach
Explanation: Although you've surely seen it, you might not have noticed it. During a cloudless twilight, just before sunrise or after sunset, part of the atmosphere above the horizon appears slightly off-color, slightly pink. Called the Belt of Venus, this off-color band between the dark eclipsed sky and the blue sky can be seen in nearly every direction including that opposite the Sun. Straight above, blue sky is normal sunlight reflecting off the atmosphere. In the Belt of Venus, however, the atmosphere reflects light from the setting (or rising) Sun which appears more red. The Belt of Venus can be seen from any location with a clear horizon. Pictured above, the Belt of Venus was photographed behind Elwood Beach in Melbourne, Australia. The belt is frequently caught by accident in other photographs."
I manage a project recording studio, St.Kilda Australia. Specializing in Punk Rock & Surf Guitar. I love tube amps! I collect obscure Aussie built tube amps from the 1960's and am currently building my own hotted Fender Tweed Bassman, with assistance from local tube guru Ross Giles. My studio runs both Tube and Transistor outboard preamps and compressors. I also build and modify guitars. Remember: The ones you build yourself are always the best you'll ever own!
