Images like this give me life, no joke. I only hope those who are able to view it do not take it for granted! I would give anything to be alone in nature with the only lights in the sky being that of the universe. I'm still young, though, so my hope of experiencing this isn't gone quite yet. Still, I feel like everyone would be a bit more in tune with the world if they could grow up seeing it untouched by man and uncorrupted by society's pollution.

My kids are dying to see it but not sure if age appropriate for an 8 and 9 year old.
When I was a child in the seventies, our parents expected us to be into age inappropriate stuff. I'm sure it had something to do with them wanting us to "grow up", leave home, and leave them alone. I'm really not sure how I survived or overcame all the mental baggage of neglect on such a huge scale.
As for the pic, I didn't know that one could escape air and light pollution at that altitude. It's a beautiful sky.

Photo was taken in a single exposure by Jeff Dai on the site of the Yaqing Temple, Sichuan, China. I want to be here right now and for the rest of my life.....really makes you wonder about space and all there is out there.

Hard to imagine getting that shot with so much light pollution.
Take a look at his flikr page from the link I posted...pretty damn good. 30 sec exposure, and that seems to be the norm on his pics from his page.

How cool would it have been for you if your dad took you to see 2001 A Space Odyssey when it first opened? Just creating memories. Im not sure if its age appropriate but if the rating has anything to do with language, I doubt they'll remember that…theyll focus on the adventure if thats what you focus on.

It mystifies me that we on Earth can see such beauty in the sky, but pictures from the Space Station show mostly a pitch black background.
