The Zodiacal light (L) with the Venus and the Milky Way (R) appear near the top of the Three-Stone Hill on the Bukk Plateau, near Felsotarkany, 137 kilometers northeast of Budapest, Hungary, late 16 February 2017. The Zodiacal light, a cone-shaped faint hazy shine seen above the western horizon after sunset or in the east before sunrise, apparently caused by the reflection of sunshine from the interplanetary dust particles of the zodiacal cloud. The phenomenon can be observed mainly in February and March after sunset from the areas of Temperate Zone of the Earth. (Photo by Peter Komka/EPA)
