Summary: Autumn is the season
for early-morning Zodiacal
Lights.
Each day before dawn sky watchers with dark skies can spot a
faint triangle of light above the eastern horizon caused by sunlight
reflecting from interplanetary
dust grains.

L. Anderson: "This was my first attempt
photographing zodiacal light. The light, directly east, was easy
to pick out in the pre-dawn darkness. I took photographs from
5:30 to 6:30 a.m. There was no moonlight, and no northern lights
to brighten the sky." [extended

C. Grohusko: "I was looking for Northern
Lights near 5 a.m. when I saw in the east this wonderful 'horn
of light' like an isolated waterfall. Very beautiful! I will
never forget it." |
