Description
The bright core of the Milky Way Galaxy rises over Mica Mountain of the Rincon Mountains east of Tucson, Arizona. These Mountains are contained within Saguaro National Park and home to many Saguaros, the monarchs of the Sonoran Desert.
This brilliant scene can be seen during Milky Way season (mainly summer) from many places in rural Pima County, Arizona and the Southwest. There can't be many places better to see all the stars, galaxies and planets in America than the Southwest due to the dark night skies. The dark skies are really not so dark once you look and see how bright they really are - it truly is heavenly. A faint glow from the city of Tucson lights up the Rincon Mountains. I truly find stars to be inspirational, hopeful, and instill a sense of wonder. The very bright object in this skyscape among the millions of stars is Juptiter, which of course is the largest planet in our solar system/

To be beneath this starry night and right smack dab in the middle of the desert would be heaven on earth. What a sight Chance. Congratulations my friend. F/L/TW.
