Stargazing in Shrewsbury on Saturday night. It was fun. It is said now that because of light pollution, only one person in ten can see the Milky Way. We saw the Milky Way, one of the many benefits of living here in Vermont. Believe it or not, on a clear night you can see the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye.
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
