Abstract
Background starlight observed by the Pioneer 10 Imaging Photopolarimeter from beyond the asteroid belt is used to isolate zodiacal light in Pioneer observations at heliocentric distances R between 1 and 3 AU. Near—ecliptic zodiacal light brightness data in the range 65° to l80° elongation ε are used to depict changes in the shape of the zodiacal light with ε and R and are compared to the corresponding views seen from the Earth and from the Helios 1 and 2 spacecraft.
