Description

Hi,

The Milky Way is not the only attraction of the spring sky. There is also a phenomenon so weak and fleeting that it is possible to observe it only from very dark places and only with exceptionally good transparency - it is zodiacal light.

The easiest way to describe it is dust particles in outer space, more precisely creating a disk around the sun (stretched in the ecliptic plane). As it turned out recently, this dust largely comes from Mars!

And as it turned out on Saturday evening, just after sunset, under the fantastic Bieszczady sky, I saw a characteristic cone of zodiacal light!

Zodiacal light is best observed in spring in the western direction of the sky at the beginning of the night or in autumn at the end of the night (before dawn) in the eastern direction.
