Sentences with GEGENSCHEIN (4)
Barnard has more recently devoted much attention to the Zodiacal Light, as well as to a strange attendant phenomenon called the “Gegenschein,” or Counterglow, because it always appears at that point in the sky which is exactly opposite the sun.
The Gegenschein, according to this theory, is a part of the same phenomenon as the Zodiacal Light, for by the laws of perspective it is evident that the reflection from the streams of particles situated at a point directly opposite to the sun would be at a maximum, and this is the place which the Gegenschein occupies.
The _Gegenschein_ (German for "counter-glow") is a faint oval patch of light, seen in the sky exactly opposite to the place of the sun.
Johnson Stoney thinks that the Gegenschein may possibly be due to a "tail" of hydrogen and helium gases repelled from the earth by solar action; this "tail" being visible to us by reflected sunlight.
