NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Zodiacal Light Vs. Milky Way” is copyrighted by Daniel López. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Ghostly Zodiacal light, caused by sunlight scattering off dust in the solar system's plane, is visible near the center of this panorama. It appears as a narrow triangle extending above the western horizon. During the weeks around the March equinox, Zodiacal light is more prominent after sunset in the northern hemisphere, when the ecliptic makes a steep angle with the horizon.
