The view to the west from the back garden tonight: Orion far left, Pleiades above the oak tree, Venus setting lower right. The faint pale smudge extending diagonally up and left from Venus is the zodiacal light
It's a beautiful night out there. Orion low in the west, Venus setting, and a glimpse of #zodiacallight reaching up towards Pleiades 🤩 #astrophotography
#ZodiacalLight is a faint cone of light caused by sunlight reflecting off #InterplanetaryDust. Imaged from #Oxfordshire 15 Mar '26. #Canon1100D + 10mm & 18mm lenses. 20 & 18 images stacked in #Sequator with & without LP removal. More details in the VLOG I shared yesterday #AtmosphericOptics

A light comes from the horizon and reaches the sky, where a group of bluish stars is (Pleiades). There are mountains covered in snow below.
Jeremy White in Colorado wrote: "I captured the luminous zodiacal light stretching up towards the Pleiades over Poudre Canyon. Early spring is a wonderful time to observe this beautiful natural phenomenon." Thank you, Jeremy!

"The zodiacal light appears as a cone-shaped wedge of light rising from the sunset point in the evening or sunrise direction in the pre-dawn hours. It’s a diffuse glow that does resemble the earliest moments of dawn and the last ones of dusk."

Discover the #zodiacallight, a faint, ghostly glow in the sky after #sunset or before #dawn at this time of year. EarthSky's Deborah Byrd will explain what causes it and when and where to see it. The video drops at noon central today (18 UTC). Join us! 🌅🔭

A starry night sky with a wide, fuzzy cone of light, broader near the horizon and narrower toward the sky.
Have you ever seen the #zodiacallight? You can start looking for it now! This eerie cone of light can be found in the west, just as evening #twilight draws to a close. Or, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, look for it in the east, before twilight begins at dawn. 🌄

Bottom black silhouette of shrubs an gras against night sky with a few prominent stars. The horizon a bit lighter. From bottom left to upper right the sky shows a cone shaped shine.
🔭 End of September, on my way to work, I stopped at my favourite star gazing field to try and take a pic of C2025 A6 Lemmon.
Though Lemmon not visible I found out later that I caught the beautiful #zodiacallight instead.

Night sky, with fuzzy column of light from the horizon and many bright dots. Two dots are way brighter. They are Jupiter and Venus.
Our dear friend Bob King - aka AstroBob - captured this stunning view from Duluth, Minnesota, on Tuesday and wrote: “Here's a shot of the #zodiacallight from Duluth on August 26." Thank you, Bob!

The hazy pyramid of light we call the "false dawn" or #zodiacallight, is back in the eastern sky before #dawn. Find out how to see this beautiful sight and what it has to do with dust storms on #Mars in this new video:

Panoramic night sky over Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand. The Milky Way galaxy arches majestically above a landscape of small town lights. A meteor streak and the plume of an Ariane 5 rocket launch are captured, adding surreal elements to this otherwise serene scene. Venus and zodiacal light are also visible.

#ZodiacalLight from Oxfordshire, UK on 18th March 2025. It's the faint cone of light extending up from the trees towards M45, caused by sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust. 25x25sec taken with a #Canon1100D + 10-18mm wide angled lens. Stacked in Sequator. Jupiter, Uranus & M31 are there too!

#ZodiacalLight from #Oxfordshire, UK on 25th Feb '25. It's the faint triangle of light that extends up from #Venus to the Pleiades, caused by sunlight reflecting off #InterplanetaryDust. It's a challenge from here because of increasing light pollution. 39x25sec + 20 darks, Canon 1100D +10mm lens
A breathtaking panorama of the night sky over a tranquil river in North Jutland, Denmark. Two distinct bands of light illuminate the scene: the bright, central band of the Milky Way galaxy on the right, and the fainter zodiacal light on the left, created by sunlight reflecting off comet dust near Jupiter. The juxtaposition of these celestial features over the reflective waters creates a stunning cosmic landscape.

A stunning fisheye view of a Leonid meteor blazing across the night sky, its vibrant green trail contrasting sharply against the majestic Milky Way galaxy. Captured from Champ du Feu, Alsace, France on November 17th, the image showcases the meteor's long path, Jupiter near the center, and the zodiacal light. The meteor is a fast earthgrazer, belonging to the Leonid meteor shower originating from comet Tempel-Tuttle.
