This article from Sky & Telescope describes how to observe the zodiacal light, which is caused by light scattering from solar system dust. The optimum locations, times of the day, and months are mentioned. A photograph illustrates the phenomenon, and the diagram shows the relative positions of the sun, the earth, and a band of solar system dust. Visitors to the site can comment on their observations.
