Zodiac and Gegenschein

- description:
- At very dark places one could spot a faint diffuse light caused by interplanetary dust particles scattering the light of the sun towards the earth. The Zodiac Light. It forms a triangular glow at the horizon from the suns direction. So at the darkest places and the clearest nights you may be able to spot the entire band of the Zodiac Light, which is an extreme faint glow along the ecliptic. And somewhere along this band you may spot the Gegenschein a only slightly brighter bulge centred at the antisolar point in the night sky. 360degrees Milky Way Pano!
