Venus and zodiacal light at the break of dawn in the southern Atacama Desert, Chile. The beam of zodiacal light is reaching high in the sky. Zodiacal light is sunlight reflected from dust particles orbiting in the plane of the solar system. From Earth it is seen as a cone of light along the ecliptic, the orbital path of the Sun, Moon and planets in the sky.
