Since I am an early riser, I've probably seen the phenomenon of Shadow Set, mentioned by Astronomy Picture of the Day, but had never heard the term before reading about it here.

I had known of the term "Venus' Belt".

The opposite phenomenon is a beauty to observe, as well; the rise of Earth's shadow from the horizon opposite to the setting sun.

Thanks! I needed that. It's good to learn something new everyday!
