Jan 25, 2010: Zodiacal Light

Zodiacal Light, sounds like the quickie horoscopes from fortune cookies, or the newspaper's comics page.
Actually, Zodiacal Light is a fancy name for the Sun's tail.



Quote:
The zodiacal light is sunlight reflected by dust particles between the Sun and Earth, and is best seen close to sunrise or sunset. As its name implies, this celestial glow appears in the ring of constellations known as the zodiac. These are found along the ecliptic, which is the eastward apparent “path” that the Sun traces across Earth’s sky.
See, dirt is good, you clean freaks. :p
