>In 1994, a 6.7-magnitude earthquake rumbled through Los Angeles at 4:30 a.m. The shaking woke residents, who discovered the power had gone out citywide.
>Some left their houses or peered outside to check on the neighborhood.
>They looked up at the sky. It was flush with cosmic bodies that had been invisible up to that point—twinkling stars, clustered galaxies, distant planets, even a satellite or two. Then some people became nervous when they saw the large silvery cloud in the sky. It looked so sinister they called 911.
>That cloud was the Milky Way. They had never seen it before

ha, it sucks that people in the city live their whole lives not knowing how beautiful a night sky is because of city lights.

I grew up in Arizona where the Milky Way is visible year-round...but I have never seen it that strong and clear....is this picture enhanced?
>>
>>78550909
A human will never be able to see a sky like that. You're looking at a time lapse with digital colour enhancement.
>>
>>78550979
You can't see space like that unless you can keep your eyes open for hours, taking in light and seeing beyond the natural scope of light visible to human eyes.

Might be I'm not sure, I just googled milky way and picked something haphazardly. Oh and go to yosemite if you want the absolute clearest view though.

If you leave your camera sensor on for example 10 seconds, it takes in all the light for the picture.
This enhances really dull stars that you wouldn't normally see with the naked eye.

My brother has been to Yoshimite and done a bit of astral photography, said the park was amazing.

>>78551259
Yes I can. Especially in the mountains. Although I can still see it right now

That shit has to be fabricated, or a composite of pictures to make it look like a ton of stars. I've stood in rural nowhere, Pennsylvania (absolutely zero emissions anywhere) and saw lots of stars, but only like 25-30% of that picture. That must be shopped
