I think the Zodiacal band should be split from Zodiacal Light, as the zl is generally the triangular patch, while the zb is the extended band. Otherwise, gegenschein should just redirect here instead of being an article. 132.205.94.9 02:22, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
The beautiful photo of the zodiacal light which has been included (with the copyright holder's permission) in this article since May 2005 was recently deleted, apparently because the licensing information was not properly documented (under current standards). I have restored the image with complete information about the licensing (GFDL) being given on the image page. For anyone who is interested I will repeat that information here:
"The copyright holder of this image is Dominic Cantin of Quebec, Canada. His website (and the source of this image is:
http://www.pbase.com/dominiccantin . On May 22, 2005 I wrote to Dominic requesting permission to use the image on Wikipedia under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) using the sample letter provided by Wikipedia at that time. On May 24, 2005 I received a reply granting permission to use the image. I wrote back to him that same day, including a link where he could view his image and the associated article on Wikipedia. He wrote me again on May 25, 2005 to say that "nothing should be changed, it's perfect".
On September 9, 2007 I forwarded my complete correspondence with the copyright holder to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" as directed on the upload page so that "the Wikipedia Foundation has a record of the license in case questions should arise at a later time" about the permission for this image."
I hope this will clear up any confusion.

The contributor suggesting the merge appears to have forgotten to add a note on this discussion page. Anyway, I support the merge, since the leader and maybe half of the rest of the Zodiacal cloud article actually talk about Zodiacal Light. The remainder, about the origin of the Zodiacal dust, should be able to easily be incorporated into the Zodiacal light article. I don't see a need to have two separate articles; the subject could be covered in one. Darkest tree ( talk) 00:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

When I click on the first image in this article to see the full screen version, then click the > to view successive images, the last one I see is the Crab Nebula? I have no idea how this can happen, since it is not visible when reading the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.175.189.247 ( talk) 01:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Greetings, fellow Editors! While doing some research for a paper I'm writing, I came across a mission that was specifically designed to study the ZL: CIBER (Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment)-1. It was launched four times from 2009-2013, but I can't find anything talking about the results of the mission, which might prove helpful to the page here. Hereis the academic paper written upon its instrumentation, but I've been unable to find anything else. Anyone else want to chip in some elbow grease? Much appreciated, XFalcon2004x ( talk) 19:06, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Dust from the planet Mars, rather than from asteroids or comets, is shown to be the origin of the zodiacal light. NASA features the result on their website today.
