@neilhimself Is that milky way photo from a phone camera like your earlier ones? Amazing what they can do today.

@neilhimself The sky is kind of broken where I live. If I'm walking or biking or driving it feels like I'm underwater. There's a pelagic quality to the night. It's fine. It is what it is.

When I get out of the city, well, the town. Well, further than that. When I get away-away, there are impossible things in the sky. There's a whole universe I can just lie back and see and imagine what it means.

I don't get out that far much, though. I like to look at sunsets and think there's a universe out there that i can see once every decade or two.

@neilhimself Almost looks quizzical, head tilted slightly, assessing

@neilhimself those two bright stars at the lower middle are the two 'pointers'. A line drawn between them can be extended up to the southern cross. The brighter of the two pointers is alpha centauri, the sun's closest solar neighbour.

@neilhimself That is the Coalsack, yes. It's a beautiful shot.

@neilhimself beautiful!! Just makes you wonder and realize how small we truly are

@neilhimself so much envy. I've never seen the milky way.

@neilhimself looks like a plucked chicken with a hole in it's tummy

@neilhimself makes me long for a less populated/ light polluted country. The universe is so very beautiful yet so few get to appreciate it's awesome immensenes

@neilhimself looks like the fountain of all human life. You know what I’m talking about.

@neilhimself "the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
