Distribution of interplanetary dust detected by the Juno spacecraft and its contribution to the Zodiacal Light

The Zodiacal light is sunlight reflected by dust in the inner solar system. Variations in the Zodiacal light with ecliptic latitude reveal discrete bands of dust orbiting near the ecliptic plane. The Juno spacecraft, in transit from earth to Jupiter, recorded a sufficient number of impacts with this dust to characterize their distribution in space for the first time. This dataset (filename IDP_List.txt) contains a time-ordered list of all IDP impact detections along with supplementary engineering and ephemeris information. The file is an ASCII text file and the file format is described in the word document (IDP_List_Format.docx).
