Hi all,
For the first time ever I saw the Zodiacal light in the early pre dawn on 27/5/23. It was so prominent I thought it was headlights over beyond the hills. Jupiter just above the horizon looks like its the nucleus of a comet.
Some of you may know that Queen guitarist, Brian May, completed his PhD thesis on radial velocities of dust that forms the ZL reflections. He started collecting the data in the early 70"s and didn't get back to writing it up for nearly 40 years!
The link to his thesis is here:
