 Eye-popping. You've really got to click and see the full-sized image to appreciate this pic.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Makes me miss living in the country where the light pollution doesn't make the stars fade to black.

That is an awesome pic. Amazing. That's what teh night sky is supposed to look like, eh? Curse these city lights.  
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

Agreed about the city lights. We should really cut down on the brightness here, especially in some parts of the world like Toyko.

  Not only will the next generation of kids miss out on these twinkling mysteries, we are doing harm to the environment and the creatures who depend on the stars for navigation. Do your part and use minimal lights at night. If you don't need it, turn it off.
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
