Many thanks for the info about the Belt of Venus. I have oftened observed it in the mornings here in Massachusetts but never understood what it was or what it was called. I'm still not sure I understand it. How does it support a round earth and what does it have to do with a shadow of the earth? A mountain doesn't seem to be necessary to see it, either.
