 Haleakala Shadow and Belt of Venus

   May 20, 2022

    Haleakala umbra

   Photographer:  Steve Kluge

   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.
