Description
During sunset, the beautiful waxing gibbous moon glows in the sky. The sun paints the clouds in the colorful sky with warm orange and red tones. In between the clouds, you can still see the sky's vibrant blue color. There are only a few days until the full moon.
The waxing gibbous phase occurs between the half and full moon. Waxing indicates that it is growing in size. If the moon is bright on the right, it is waxing.A waxing gibbous moon can be seen in the afternoon, shortly after moonrise, as it ascends in the east as the sun descends in the west.
The belt of Venus, also known as Venus's Girdle, the anti twilight arch, or anti twilight, can also be seen here. It's that pinkish radiance during civil twilight. This atmospheric phenomenon is visible shortly before or after sunrise.
