Description
A gorgeous view from Aguereberry Point, Death Valley National Park, California with earth shadow. Earth Shadow is the shadow that the Earth itself casts on its atmosphere. This shadow is often visible from the surface of the Earth as a dark band in the sky near the horizon.
Just before sunset, a low, flat, dark blue band rises up from the eastern horizon. This is the earth's shadow and it stretches for nearly 180 degrees. It is bounded above by the pinkish anti-twilight arch and below by the horizon. The earth's shadow is best seen when the sky is clear and the line of sight is long. From a high elevation, the shadow appears sharper than it does from ground level.
