Zodiacal light
The mysterious beautiful Zodiacal light or false dawn. The bright star is Venus. (Photo by Dominic Cantin taken in Aug 2000, Canada).
Another photo of zodiacal light (by 808caver taken in Pi'Imoi, Maui.) These lights can be seen 2 or 3 hours before sunrise (east) or after sunset (west) in the tropics throughout the year. Its not the sun rising and certainly not UFOs. Its light reflecting off the dust particles in space. The next few weeks try viewing it if favourable conditions permit. It is impossible to view from my house but would be something interesting to look out for next time I am on a beach holiday.
