gegenschein

The Gegenshein, also called Counterglow, is a very faint light which can be seen in the sky at night.

In gegenschein, constructive interference might play a role (this needs verification).

A similar effect is the Gegenschein, which is seen directly opposite to the sun's position in the sky.

S-1 involved Cooper taking the first photographs of the zodiacal light and the gegenschein from orbit.

The gegenschein may be because particles directly opposite the sun as seen from Earth would be in full phase.

Like the zodiacal light the gegenschein is sunlight reflected by interplanetary dust.

His research included investigating the spectra of stars, galactic light, aurorae, and the gegenschein.

It was also Humboldt who gave the phenomenon its German name Gegenschein.

In modern times, the gegenschein is not visible in most inhabited regions of the world due to light pollution.

The intensity of the gegenschein is (relatively) enhanced, because each dust particle is seen in full phase.

The Kordylewski clouds are a very faint phenomenon, comparable to the brightness of the gegenschein.

The clouds appear somewhat redder than the gegenschein, indicating that they may be made of a different kind of particle.

There is also a very faint, but still slightly increased, oval glow directly opposite the Sun which is known as the gegenschein.

There is no luminescence in the depths there, and no gegenschein in the high air.

Besides, Brorsen had already proposed the correct explanation for the gegenschein (interplanetary dust reflections).

'That's a scientist who studies reflections in space, like the gegenschein - the reflection of the sun on the dark matter of distant space.'

In 1854, Brorsen published the first thorough investigations of the so-called gegenschein (counter shine) of the Zodiacal light.

Natural illumination is still provided by a combination of moonlight, planetary light, starlight, diffuse zodiacal light, gegenschein, and airglow.

The Danish astronomer Theodor Brorsen published the first thorough investigations of the gegenschein in 1854.

It is where anticrepuscular rays appear to converge, and on a moonless night away from city lights, it is often possible to see the gegenschein there.

Later, aboard Geminis, 5, 9, 10, and 11, astronauts photographed the Zodiacal Light and the gegenschein, which had been obscured in the Mercury missions by nightglow.

Cometary dust and dust generated by collisions among the asteroids are believed to be mostly responsible for the maintenance of the dust cloud producing the zodiacal light and the gegenschein.

But it grew to be a habit with them, the sending of the daily negative reports, the impossibility of hearing any signal from Earth, even of observing it, for there was the eternal Gegenschein.
