Moon-shadow rise over Ayers Rock

 

The above 360 degree panoramic image was taken just after sunset at Uluru nationa park, central Australia

The moon, as well as the earth's shadow are both rising above the rock, an 1142 foot high monolith that dominates the local spinifex covered plains

The pinkish coloured band, just above the earth's shadow is known as the "belt of Venus"
