What is Zodiacal light? And where can I find it?

Basically, it's the light reflected from dust particles along the plane of the ecliptic... and that's about all I know! I'm sure someone else will be able to shed some "light" on the subject, ha ha

Thanks... I found this information on the astronomy message board (public board), but they don't explain what that is >< now I know

There is a wonderful book about the life of Kristian Birkeland (The Northern Lights by Lucy Jago) , he discovered the cause of the Northern Lights and he has done a lot of research to find out about the zodiacal light. he went to Egypt, because apparently it is better visible there.
Cheers.

Thanks VanderL - wouldn't it be fantastic to see the Zodiacal Light stretching over the Pyramids?
