满月和地球的阴影在这个岛屿的天空中交织在一起。这一诱人的景象是8月20日星期二早上在斐济,南太平洋,地球上拍摄的。对早起的人来说,西天的影子是每天都会出现的。尽管如此,灰蓝色的阴影经常被忽视,取而代之的是更明亮的东方地平线。穿过浓密的大气层,地球的阴影被粉红色的光芒或反暮光的拱形所包围。这个拱门被称为金星带,它可爱的颜色是由于对面地平线上冉冉升起的太阳发出的红光的反向散射。当然,月亮的光线会因为穿过大气层的长长的视线而变红。但在那一天,满月可以被称为季节性蓝月亮,在一个有四个满月的季节里的第三个满月。尽管满月总是在地平线附近令人印象深刻,但一些人认为,8月的满月是2024年连续四次超级满月中的第一次。

The full Moon and Earth's shadow set together in this island skyscape. The alluring scene was captured Tuesday morning, August 20, from Fiji, South Pacific Ocean, planet Earth. For early morning risers shadowset in the western sky is a daily apparition. Still, the grey-blue shadow is often overlooked in favor of a brighter eastern horizon. Extending through the dense atmosphere, Earth's setting shadow is bounded above by a pinkish glow or anti-twilight arch. Known as the Belt of Venus, the arch's lovely color is due to backscattering of reddened light from the opposite horizon's rising Sun. Of course, the setting Moon's light is reddened by the long sight-line through the atmosphere. But on that date the full Moon could be called a seasonal Blue Moon, the third full Moon in a season with four full Moons. And even though the full Moon is always impressive near the horizon, August's full Moon is considered by some the first of four consecutive full Supermoons in 2024.
