I can see that from my village in Crete :D not as detailed of course. The people here call it "The river Jordan". Legend had it that the river where Christ was baptized reflected to the night sky :D

You sir, are incredibly lucky!
I have only ever really seen the milky way once and that was in Spain.
It must be an awe-inspiring sight!

You BOTH are lucky. I live in the city and the light pollution is too much to see even 1 star. :(

Look at the stars, 200 billion of them! And people are sceptical of life outside the solar system. Fools.

That's too bad, I love looking at the stars and the milky way from my backyard. I'm only 30 miles (50km) from downtown Los Angeles and I have a great view. It's much better to live on the edge of a large city than in it.

Actually living an a village or going to a village is the best way to admire the night sky. I'm lucky I can do that but living in a village..i cant do that xD I live in downtown Heraklion...Cant see anything here but my village..thats spectacular :D
