We have no ‘light pollution’ out here on our farm. When August rolls around, we can see The Milky Way from our front porch.

Which we are part of, Right? I can’t keep this space-stuff straight, LOL!

Yes, that broad band of stars known as the Milky Way is an edge-on view of our own galaxy, The Milky Way. The MWG is basically flat like the solar system, and since we of course reside within the flat plane of the galaxy we see it as a bright band across the sky.

Sorry, meant to ask you.
Do you have any artist pigs like Arnold on your farm?
