Zodiacal light over Lake Namtso. Observer viewing the sky at the break of dawn, with the cone shape of zodiacal light (left) appearing over Lake Namtso, Tibet, China. 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. Lake Namtso is located at an elevation of 5000 metres.
