Spectacular Milky Way photo. Unfortunately, I live in a city where there is much light pollution. I don’t get to see the Milky Way unless I leave town and go out in the country, which is rare.

Dear Tommaso, Thank you for your peek into your backyard and the stars of summers past. I, too, trooped vigilantly across the street to where the land meets the waters on San Francisco Bay and looked for that magnificent lunar light. Having spent the past week locked down due to extraordinary high temperatures, the cloudy but veiled night did not reveal a single glimmer. We live in an area where minimal light pollution is difficult to find. So, this past summer my husband and I reveled in the magnificence of the night skies in Provence for more than two weeks, and counted ourselves fortunate indeed. Our love of the stars (and travel, incidentally) began when we read the marvelous book Longitude, the story of Galileo's discoveries of the four moons of Jupiter. And immediately we purchased a telescope and not only followed the stars, but followed those people (many many Italian) who have given so much to astronomy. And one thing more, no matter where you are in the northern hemisphere, there is nothing so heartwarming than discovering the Big Dipper and knowing that 'old friend' is still with us. Thank you again, Carole
The last picture and caption is the best!
The face of a goddess. Peaceful and loving look! Thanks, Tomasso, nicely framed! ❤️🌝
Love these! We live out in the country and I love looking at the stars and moon! God’s handiwork! He is still creating new stars all the time! 💕
I noticed the golden moon last evening. Once in awhile, I get to see the big and little dipper and I'm always delighted.
thank you for your photo and your story.
Lovely thanks for sharing Jami
How lovely is your life! Thank you for showing us. I haven’t seen a real star in years with all the light pollution in the US. Very sad.
