“Zodiacal Ray with Venus and Jupiter” is copyrighted by Ruslan Merzlyakov (astrorms). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis unusual ray of light extending from the horizon is zodiacal light, caused by dust orbiting the Sun. At certain times of the year, this band of sun-reflecting dust from the inner Solar System appears prominently after sunset or before sunrise. This HDR image, taken in mid-February from the Sierra Nevada National Park in Spain, captures the glowing band of zodiacal light with Venus and Jupiter.
