The great shining band of the Milky Way flows like a river of light from horizon to horizon, bisecting the dark sea of night over the Pacific Northwest. The ocean of stars glimmers fitfully over mountains, lakes, and sagebrush plains, it's inky depths plied by satellites and shooting stars, the latter flaring in fleeting glory before dissolving silently into infinity.
