Rising full Moon over the Badlands of Horseshoe Canyon, near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, on 6 January 2023. Here the Moon is set in the pink Belt of Venus and with dark blue anti-crepuscular rays converging on the point directly opposite the Sun. The rays are shadows cast by clouds in the west, which parted enough for a few moments for the setting Sun to light the foreground, making for a colourful contrast between ground and sky.
