Over the next few weeks, a band of eerie predawn light will illuminate the sky.
Between the autumnal equinox and the next full moon in October, zodiacal light will be visible on the eastern horizon.
In areas free from urban light pollution, zodiacal light will appear in the lower third of the sky next to the stars of Castor and Pollux. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, zodiacal light can be seen in the early morning hours of August and November. The phenomenon can be seen in the evening around sunset in the southern hemisphere.

Zodiacal light is when sunlight is scattered by particles in the plane of the solar system. It will appear as a broad cone or wedge of faint light stretching upwards from the eastern horizon into the ecliptic. According to EarthSky.org, the zodiacal light will look similar to the Milky Way in appearance.
The sun's path through the sky leads to the most visible Zodiacal light. The sun is above the equator during the spring and summer. The "false dawn" phenomenon occurs when the sun hits the horizon at its most extreme angle.
