Milky Way and zodiacal light over Lake Namtso. Tibetan sky at the break of dawn. The arc of the Milky Way from Sagittarius (left) to Perseus (right), and the cone shape of zodiacal light at right, appear over Lake Namtso, Tibet, China. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside, forming a band of stars and nebulae stretching across 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. Photographed on 16 July 2015. | |
