也被称为假黎明，黄道光的明亮带被捕获在这黑暗的夜空。这幅宁静的景色是在天文黄昏开始之前拍摄的，当时是在印度拉达克偏远的汉勒黑暗天空保护区举行的9月份的星光晚会上。在海拔约4500米的黑暗天空保护区，是顽强的观星和天文摄影爱好者的天堂。当流星划过夜空时，明亮的木星似乎沉浸在东方地平线附近微弱的黄道带辉光中。沿着黄道带走向天顶，你会发现疏散星团M44和一颗淡黄色的行星火星在画面中心附近。事实上，美国宇航局朱诺号宇宙飞船对行星际尘埃的偶然探测表明，火星本身就是尘埃的来源，这些尘埃会在地球的夜晚散射阳光并产生黄道光。APOD的主要NASA网站正在迁移：从APOD .

Also known as the false dawn, a luminous band of zodiacal light is captured in this dark night skyscape. The serene view was recorded just before the beginning of astronomical twilight during September's star party at the remote Hanle Dark Sky Reserve, Ladakh, India, planet Earth. At about 4,500 meters altitude, the dark sky reserve presents a haven for hardy stargazing and astrophotography enthusiasts. While meteors streak through the night, bright planet Jupiter appears immersed in the faint zodiacal glow near the eastern horizon. Follow the zodiacal band toward the zenith to find open star cluster M44 and a yellowish tinged planet Mars near the center of the frame. In fact, serendipitous detections of interplanetary dust by NASA's Juno spacecraft suggest Mars itself is the source of dust that back scatters sunlight and creates zodiacal light in planet Earth's night.
