Zodiacal Twilight

Zodiacal light appears as a tilted faint white band in the night sky (after sunset in Winter/Spring and before sunrise in Autumn). Zodiacal light is the reflection of sunlight from microscopic interplanetary dust particles lying on the ecliptic (plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun). Jupiter (brightest spot) and Saturn (lower right) are visible too and also in the Zodiacal light.
