This isn't technically a photo of the earth or anything on it. I know the photo looks like I took it with a yam. I took it with my five year old iphone. I got to spend Friday and Saturday somewhere remote. Spent most of both nights just laying in the bed of my truck looking up at the sky. You can see the Milky Way Galaxy by eye out there.
Spent a good part of the night feeling small. Hard not to when that is out there.
Awesome picture. I used to camp with friends beside an observatory. They usually are built in places with low light contamination. It really is something when you lie under the galaxy and realize what the true context is. I should do it more…
