Zodiacal light
A faint cone of light in the night sky extending upward from the horizon in the direction of the ecliptic (zodiac).
It is seen at tropical latitudes for a few hours after sunset or before sunrise. It is mainly explained by the forward scattering of sunlight by particles in interplanetary space along the ecliptic.
