Reading the description for the APoD, I sort of chuckled when it mentioned the Belt of Venus. Only because where I live, (about 50 miles south-ish of Baltimore, MD, USA), we have a 'belt of smog'. Seriously!
As I head to work in the morning, I steal glances towards the sky (as weather permits) and have noticed on more than one occassion, a thin, brownish-gray 'belt' in the sky and I thought, "a belt of smog; something to rival Venus' Belt!"
