The last time I saw the Milky Way was about 20 years ago while visiting a family member who lives north of Los Angeles on the coast. My family and I were sitting outside engaged in light conversation. I was enjoying the view of the sky which was filled with stars, something I never see in my city anymore..Seeing the Milky Way was an incredible treat. Although very faint, it was beautiful to see again.
Can you spot the Milky Way in your city? Have any stories or photos to share about seeing the Milky Way? When is the last time you had an opportunity to view it?
Here is a link to very good video of the Milky Way created by Barry Chall on Youtube.com. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
