    Haleakala Shadow and Belt of Venus

      Summary Author:  Steve Kluge   
      
      Every morning crowds gather on the summit of  Haleakala on  Maui,   
      Hawai'i, to watch the sunrise.  While most folks' pre-sunrise attention   
      is focused to the eastern horizon, I like to look west to see the   
       Earth's umbra (shadow) and the  Belt of Venus slowly setting.   
      From this 10,000-foot-high (3048 m) perch in the middle of the Pacific   
      Ocean, the curvature of Earth's umbra is clearly visible. I took this   
      photo on one of my sunrise visits, and I've always enjoyed seeing the   
      shadow of Haleakala cast over West Maui shortly after sunrise at the   
      summit.
