Starting March 9, for several weeks, the inhabitants of the Earth will be able to observe amazing hairs of light in the night sky, which can take the form of a pyramid. This effect is known as zodiacal light, according to Space.. com.

The phenomenon occurs as a result of the reflection of light from dust particles between the Sun and the Earth.. But the zodiacal light is not so easy to see, it is so weak that it is necessary to choose a place completely devoid of light pollution, both natural and artificial.. In addition, you can see it for a limited time: for 90 minutes, approximately 1.5 hours after sunset.

If all these conditions are met, it will be possible to see a wedge of light extending from the horizon to the west and following the imaginary line of the ecliptic to the east..

You can see the zodiac light this year from March 9 to March 21. In addition, Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets in the night sky, can also be seen in the west after sunset..

Therefore, there is a possibility to “catch” two events at once.

The zodiacal light is so named because its band passes through the constellations known as the zodiac.. There is nothing otherworldly or mythical in the phenomenon itself..

Recall that at the end of January, green stripes of lasers appeared in the sky over Hawaii, which resembled the code of the Matrix. An unusual phenomenon was captured using a telescope located in the highest place in Hawaii.
