I live on the east coast of the US, New York to be exact. I've never seen the milky way core, but every time I see these images I truly cannot wait to see it. I've flown international a hand full of times, but never anywhere were the light pollution is low enough to truly see the night sky. I envy these shots, it's remarkable to witness. It really shows you the beauty of life and the universe and how small we truly are in a sea of endless potential.
