Depictions of two kinds of dust in space: At left the pyramid-shaped glow of Zodiacal Light caused by sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust in the inner solar system from comets and meteoroids, while at right is the band of the bright Milky Way, made of stars in our galaxy. But along it lie dark lanes of interstellar dust made of carbon compounds made in the atmospheres of stars and dispersed into the Galaxy. Shot from Arizona, USA, on December 14, 2017, looking west to the Chiricahua Mountains of southeast Arizona. The Summer Triangle stars are setting into the west with Deneb at top, while Vega is at right. Altair is lowest at centre. | |
