The Infrared Astronomical Satellite has provided extensive observations of the zodiacal cloud at high spatial resolution which will not be matched in the forseeable future. Within the zodiacal cloud, IRAS discovered extended dust structures providing the link between the interplanetary dust complex and the asteroids and comets which are its source. These are the asteroid dust bands and the cometary dust trails.
