Zodiacal light, lot's of Stars. False Dawn.

Zodiacal light, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiacal_light ), is produced by sunlight reflecting off dust particles in the Solar System known as cosmic dust.

This image was captured over the course of a night and is the result of sophisticated imaging by ESO Photo Ambassador Petr Horálek, who sought to capture the structure of zodiacal light in a ground-based image like never before.

It was taken at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. Petr Horálek won the title of "Czech Astrophotography of the Month" in January 2017 for his photo. The title is offered by the Czech Astronomical Society and the Czech Astronomical Institute.
