It's really sad how air and light polluted our cities have become.

But really, what I know about it, I got via reading for my own pleasure. <BR/><BR/>Your description of the Grand Teton reminds me of stargazing at Big Bend Park in Texas, which remains my favourite spot in the entire USofA. The night sky was just unbelievable, as I'm sure it was at Teton.

The stars were out to party and the sky was full. Got a lovely basic astronomy lesson from a astronomer who volunteered at the park during summers. Your post reminded me of him. thanksAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979233087322199017noreply@blogger.com
