“Dude, check out this iceburg. Ain’t she a bute? The stripes are from algae.”

“And iddn’t the Milky Way just gorgeous?”

“If sometimes it appears that the entire Milky Way Galaxy is raining down on your head, do not despair. It happens twice a day. As the Sun rises in the East,wonders of the night sky become less bright than the sunlight scattered by our own Earth’s atmosphere, and so fade from view. They will only rotate back into view when the Earth again eclipses our bright Sun at dusk. This battle between heaven and Earth was captured dramatically in a digitally enhanced double-exposure over the Kofa Mountains in ArizonaUSA in 2003 May. Dark dustmillions of stars, and bright glowing red gas highlight the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, which lies on average thousands of light yearsbehind Earth’s mountains.” - NASA
