In this beauttiful photograph, many stars can be observed. Our milky way galaxy can be seen in the upper right part of the image. The appeared cloudy look is caused by billions of star's lights combined together. To the left of the picture, zodaical light can be seen if looked at closely. Zodaical light is a band of light coming up from the sun that is basically dust particles that reflect photons emitted by the sun. This "dust" is given off by comets. Zodaical light may also be called a comet's "death glow". It is called by this name sometimes because the dust particles are given off when a comet begins to fall apart. Jupiter can also be seen at the very top left of this picture.
