My brother is camped with friends on my Father's homestead in Wyoming in anticipation of Monday's Eclipse. He sent me this pic from last night of the Milky Way Galaxy in all God's glory. I am in awe that this was my Father's nightly view as a child.
That's really awesome. I have relatives in Montana and Wyoming. My fathers family moved from there to Arkansas then Missouri. I have a rather high powered telescope I paid around 600 dollars for and with the light pollution around Kansas city, I count my self fortunate to observe the Rings of Saturn and Jupiters bands and the moons. I'm going to make it a trip soon to get out of the city. Anyways I can't wait for the eclipse. My town is having an eclipse block party as we get a front row view of it. We're directly in the path of it.
Yeah, I'm totally over this eclipse nonsense. That view is amazing. It's also, if you think about it......technically more astounding than a stupid eclipse. Countless little things had to happen for you to be able to see that milky way shot. Only a few things had to line up for the eclipse to happen.
Great pic,we never have views of the night sky like that. Looking forward to tomorrow if I can find some glasses. If not I will borrow a pair of welding goggles. We are right in the heart of the eclipse.
