The Milky Way

When I was a little girl I used to lie on the lush grass of our back lawn and stare in wonder at the cosmos, trying to comprehend the vast size of the milky-way that floats above our quaint little cottage.

To this day I still find myself lying on the lawn on a mid-summer evening, usually with a glass of wine to watch for falling stars and just to dazzle myself in the spectacle above.

So relaxing

Hello Kimberley,

I love looking at stars too. Alas, where I live, all I tend to see is an orange haze. I yearn to live in a Mongolian yurt with Miss K one day, out in the wilderness, and we can look up at the stars every night Smile.

Is that a picture of the galactic center?

Kind regards,

Cuthbert

This i just a stock picture from the internet. You can see the milky-way now and then from here, but it's rare. I have a feeling this was taken with a bigger telescope that what we mere house dwellers posses.
