It's equivalent to the glow of 10 fireflies spread across the entire night sky.
, and from dust in the plane of our solar system and making tens of thousands of measurements to detect the residual glow in the night sky after these sources were removed.
In a statement, NASA officials described this as being similar to walking into a room at night, turning out all the lights and closing the shades. Despite the darkening of the room, an eerie glow comes from the walls, ceiling and floor even after all light sources have been eliminated. The team thinks that one possible explanation for this solar system glow is reflected sunlight from a sphere of dust left behind by
Such a shell of dust would represent a new addition to what astronomers know about the architecture of the solar system. This isn't the first time astronomers have spotted a ghostly glow around the solar system. In 2021, NASA'sin 2015 and is now heading out of our planetary system and into interstellar space, and it took measurements of the solar system at a distance of 4 billion to 5 billion miles from the sun.
