Zodiacal Light, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way
Shown above are two roughly parallel bands of faintly glowing light as observed from the snowy Italian Alps. The zodiacal light is at left while the Milky Way is on the right. They're enhanced here by a long exposure time. The zodiacal light is primarily the product of sunlight scattered in the forward direction by dust in the Earth's own orbit. Note that the Cygnus/Cephus region of the Milky Way is shown here. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is at top center. Photo taken on January 24, 2014.

Welcome! This is the gateway to adventure and discovery
Through this blog pebble pups and junior members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society can access their lessons, work on assignments and projects, and receive details about field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. This Internet program is also suitable for young people who are interested in Earth science but do not live near a rock club or gem and mineral society or for young people anywhere who want a deeper dive into these topics. The only requirement is that all participants must be members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and must fill out the CSMS membership form (under important websites) and send their registration and membership fee in. Steven Veatch is the senior instructor and will need an email from you with your name, address, phone number, and permission from your parents to participate in this program.
