A place to share Milky Way and other space related content. From Earth-bound discoveries to mind-bending images. -/- We'd like this sub to lean more toward education/information than other space subreddits do, but community input is always appreciated. [Please use the 'Meta' flair for giving feedback about the sub itself.] -/- We're here for people of all ages; if you're an old-hat science buff looking for inspiration or a kid looking for a way into the cosmological community, we have it all.
A distributed computing project at Milkyway@Home is creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

Is this a partial of the Milky Way?
We were camping last night and saw this, felt like it could be the Milky Way, but neither of us know stars to locate it by or had service. So is it?

Just bought a start tracker and wondering the best way for milky way photography right now. US West coast suggestion?
I am currently staying with family in the SF Bay Area, and I've taken astro pictures outside Yosemite by Mono Lake, and a bunch of places in Utah and Colorado. I was wondering which place should I go this and next weekend since it's the best time for milky way pictures, but I'm worrying about being able to face south ish. I considered glacier point in Yosemite and Zion NP, but I'm worried about those places not having a south facing lookout.
Is there a spot yall would suggest? Maybe Lassen NP? Somewhere down the Big Sur? Does Death Valley has a specific spot yall would recommend? Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I'm willing to go anywhere withing a day worth of drive from SF (12 hours give it or take). I considered Arches NP but a bit of a stretch. My last few pictures were from Joshua Tree and Escalante, UT

Milky Way on Passo Gardena, Italy
Tried to catch some perseids along with it last weekend but no luck, got this nice composition instead with this little church. Since the lights were off, I lit it with a Boling P1 at full brightness, I think I’m happy with the end result
