Explanation:
Through crystal clear skies this beautiful panorama follows the curve of
planet Earth's shadow rising across the
top of
the world.
The tantalizing twilight view is composed of eight single frames
captured from 4,000 meters above sea level at sunset on April 6.
Just above the dark grey
Earth-shadow boundary lies a fading, pinkish,
anti-twilight arch.
Also known as the belt of Venus, its
reddened and back-scattered sunlight finally merges with the still blue
eastern sky.
Standing tall near center along the rugged horizon line is the distant
sharp peak of Mount Damavand in the snowy
Alborz mountains.
A feature in Persian mythology and literature,
Damavand is a
stratovolcano reaching 5,610 meters above sea level, the highest peak in
Iran and the Middle East.
