Interplanetary Dust

  • Chapter
Physics of the Inner Heliosphere I

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry in Space, Space and Solar Phycics ((SPACE,volume 20))

Abstract

The existence of a cloud of dust particles that pervades interplanetary space has long been known from the presence of its optical manifestation, the zodiacal light. This dim glow, best seen about one hour after sunset or before sunrise, when its brighter inner parts are above the horizon, was one of the first phenomena recognized as originating in interplanetary space. Given its conspicious appearance at low geographic latitudes (Fig. 5.1) one may wonder that there were no records of it until the end of the 17th century, when Cassini (1683) announced its discovery and offered the correct explanation: it is sunlight, scattered off myriads of small particles orbiting the sun. Towards the sun it continues with increasing brightness; the innermost parts can be seen during solar eclipses or from space as the F component (showing Fraunhofer lines) of the solar corona. Photometric measurements have shown that it covers the whole sky, but it is brightest in a band along the ecliptic. Around the antisolar point it brightens again; this Gegenschein can be seen by the naked eye under exceptional conditions.
