...and other things to see in the dark...

When was the last time YOU saw the Milky Way?

I remember as a kid in Virginia having nights so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face. But if you looked UP, you saw an incredible carpet of light.

...with the wispy edge of The Milky Way...

But I've not seen it in years.

Suddenly, I feel the need to drive out into the country for an evening's exploration.

Who wants to come?
