Sarah Wagner was at the Navarro River when she captured this magical sight.
The Milky Way, in all its glory, is shining brightly in the night sky.
Thanks to Sarah for allowing me to share her photo with you here. Sarah took another photo of the Milky Way while on a night kayak trip on Big River. The stars are reflected in the river. That photo will be in this week's Independent Coast Observer. Don't miss it! Here's the ICO's website: www.mendonoma.com
Sarah Wagner Flaim photographed the Milky Way earlier this week. Here is the spectacular result. The bright star to the right is Mars. Mars is very close to Earth right now.
In the Huffington Post yesterday there was an article about how few people in the United States can see the Milky Way anymore. Light pollution is the culprit. Here's the link to the article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/light-pollution-psychological-effects_us_5759d91be4b0e39a28ad0e93?fb_action_ids=10153908737758171&fb_action_types=og.comments
