You’re having a quiet evening at home when all of a sudden... the lights go out! You take a peek outside and see that your neighborhood-normally filled with house lights, streetlights, and more-is suddenly dark. That’s when something catches your eye. Looking up into the sky you see something you don’t typically see. A splash of thousands of stars across the sky-the Milky Way.
