Zodiacal Light Over Chile

Zodiacal Light Over Chile - An unusual triangle of light. Once considered a false dawn, this triangle of light is actually Zodiacal Light, light reflected from interplanetary dust particles. The band of our Milky Way Galaxy on the left mirrors the zodiacal band. Zodiacal dust orbits the Sun predominantly in the same plane as the planets: the ecliptic. — at lmage Credit: Manel Soria/NASA (Valparaíso, Chile - July '09).
