Zodiacal Light Over Desert Observatory Marrakech

by Patricia Roberts

Pale green light stretches vertically from the western horizon, forming a faint triangular wedge above a low white dome. The structure sits on reddish sand, surrounded by scattered metal instruments and weathered equipment racks. Late afternoon sun wraps the horizon in soft orange and pink hues, illuminating dust particles suspended in the cool dry air. The dome's smooth surface reflects the fading sky, while dark shadows lengthen across the ground. Salt wind stirs the fine sand around the base of the metal stands. A small blue flag on a nearby pole angles sharply to the left, indicating the direction of the breeze. The entire scene rests under a clear sky transitioning from deep blue to twilight gray.
