Belt of Venus on YouTube

On a clear evening, as the vibrant colors of a luminous sunset paint the western sky, be sure to look back to the east and treat yourself to the Belt of Venus. This delicate, pink band blankets the steadily rising, deep blue shadow of approaching night. It is the place where the last rays of sunlight filter through the sky and escape into infinity. As an amateur astronomer, this spectacle reminds me of a theater curtain slowly rising to reveal the wonders of the night sky.

This channel is inspired by the art, science and aesthetics of the natural world and people around us.
