The zodiacal light (at bottom left) is produced by sunlight reflecting off solar system dust. See it this spring.

In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to go out and spot the elusive zodiacal light. Caused by light reflecting and scattering off dust in the plane of our solar system, one of the best times to see it is in the late winter and early spring. So, head to a reasonably dark site and take the opportunity to see something new.
