A moment of Zen to battle Trump fatigue (space related... and full screen is a must!):

vimeo.com/211656397

Just as the bright city lights are vanishing behind us, the Milky way starts to become clearly visible up ahead. Its now us, pacing at almost the speed of sound along the invisible highway and the pitch-black night sky above this surreal landscape. Ahead of us are another eight hours flight time, but we already stopped counting the shooting stars. And we got already to a few hundred.

Makes sense that someone would stick a camera in the cockpit to record the flight, just didn't think that the technology was there to make such an awesome night sky visible to that degree from an airplane.

Thanks for taking time to post.

We are all in this together but some want more and more and MORE! Remember, "more" comes from someplace or someone.

Is this your work? If so, you are astonishing. If not, thank you a thousand times for posting!

I agree, sometimes we who care so much about political struggles need to zoom out, for our own hearts and minds' sake.

. . .induced the shift in perspective that every other part of me has been longing for, while my conscious mind was feverishly focused on the cascading horrors of our collective nightmare. Thank you so much for posting.
