A nearly full moon sets over a snowy landscape in Wyoming. Earth's shadow, a dark blue band, is visible along the horizon, above which a pinkish antitwilight arch, also known as the Belt of Venus, is present. The moon's light is reddened by the atmosphere, echoing the dawn sky's colors. The scene was captured from Mt. Jelm, home of the Wyoming Infrared Observatory.
