The Milky Way, In Brief

I may be out of contact for a few days, so I thought I’d leave you with another view of the Milky Way, our galactic home, or so we are told. Since you do not see what I’m offering you below in the photographs supposedly taken by our astronauts, I have a question: Who are you going to believe, them or me?

Check the ISS and other NASA imagery and see if it looks like what’s actually up there — you might go outside and tilt your head upwards tonight. Go to this NASA page and see if you can find some stars. Do you understand the implications? This may be the Big Lie. The Lie ‘Forum Borealis’ and the rest of the moles refuse to discuss.

Come on, ‘Al Borealis’: Where is the Universe? Could there be a bigger lie?

You’ve seen this one. I’ll ask again: With the sun behind us, where are the stars?

Hey, I appreciate the comments (most of them). Keep ’em coming. I’ll continue to shoot the night sky. See if we find something interesting…
