The Milky Way August 27, 2017



It was only a half-moon tonight, but the sky was so clear that it glistened.  I padded onto the deck to marvel at the stars and the planets, and there was the Milky Way, expansive and dreamy.  I can’t help but wonder what ancient peoples made of this unearthly beauty.  We can never go backwards and unknow what we now know about the cosmos, but does does understanding make it any less breath-taking?  I wonder.
