“The band of the Milky Way” - I’ve seen that band.....two kazoos and a whistle....not much to dance to, but the guy on the whistle can wail.
Moderators! Moderators! SunkenCiv is showing butt pictures again! Make him stand in the corner with an eraser on his head!

Somebody had to do it.
That is one stunning photograph.
I was in Hawaii (some 18 yrs ago now, oy!!) and had the opportunity to be in Volcanoes National Park at night... everyone should be so lucky, to see Dark as nature intended.... no lights, only millions of stars. I will never forget that. The sheer beauty and majesty of it was overwhelming.
Wow! That takes your breath away! If I lived in view of that, I would sleep under the stars every night.
