Background starlight observed from Pioneer 10The results of background starlight observations are reviewed that were obtained by the Pioneer 10 asteroid-Jupiter probe when, after passage beyond the asteroid belt, its imaging photopolarimeter observed integrated starlight and diffuse galactic light for the first time in the absence of zodiacal light. Brightnesses in the blue are presented with and without individually resolved stars for regions of the sky observed when Pioneer 10 was 4.64 astronomical units from the sun.
