this on the very day when summer starts. when the sun rises at 05:18 and sets at 19:46. not particularly impressive, but thank the stars there is night, otherwise the place would dry up and disperse into a heat-shimmering mirage. no dew here to roll in.
the Milky Way is so … intense. looking at it, seeing the invisible dark matter that shades the core and gives us relative darkness. it calms the spirit to have such darkness punctuated by such scalable brilliance.
