That same year, I wandered into the desert at night, 12 miles west of Las Vegas and saw some of the darkest sky ever. The arms of the milky-way plainly visible to the southwest and the other to the northeast. Figured I was looking at 12,000 light-years. Even posed for a picture of me with the the starry sky as a background.

Wow, thank you. That would make some nice wallpaper. The kind that goes on a wall.

This is a must see
interactive map of the heavens. As I looked at it, I was reminded of a few verses in the Bible
.
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. space(Psalm 19:1-3 NKJV)“Thy heavens, the work of the Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained…Thou dost make him [man] to rule over the works of Thy hands, Thou has put all things under his feet”space (Psalms 8:3,6 NKJV).
“And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage” space(Deuteronomy 4:19 NKJV).

Something else I miss about inter-continental ocean sailing.
The real sky.
Not just a few of its brightest stars poking down through urban haze and murk, but Vermeers and Rembrandts in all their glory. The sky all hung with jewels, in the words of an English master.
