Zodiacal Light and Milky Way
This wide-angle view from northern Maine captures two major astronomical planes. The Milky Way's disk arcs across the sky, while the zodiacal light stretches almost horizontally. Zodiacal light is sunlight scattered by dust in the plane of our solar system, appearing as a faint glow. The bright planet Jupiter marks the intersection of these two celestial features.
