I got to see the Milky Way in Joshua Tree National Park. I've never been able to see it because the night pollution obscures the light near my home. That alone made the trip out here worth it.

Isn't the Milky Way amazing? There's a whole lot of connected Aboriginal myths surrounding it here. I'm sure that's the case with the Indigenous peoples where you are, too.

I don't know, but now I'm curious. I'll have to look into it when I get back home.

Now, that's something I'd like to see - I'm jealous! :P

It was fascinating laying on my back on a picnic bench just watch the stars in the middle of the desert, miles from the light pollution from any big city. I was able to see a lot of detail that I can't normally see. My brother and I must have been there for a half hour just watching the skies. It does make our own world seem a little smaller.

I miss seeing it on a regular basis.

It is breathtaking. I wish it was easier to see from where I am.

I wish I could have spent more time there.
