The plane of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, seems to cascade over sandstone hills in a long-exposure nighttime shot taken earlier this month in Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer National Park, in the heart of the Sahara.

I wonder if we all had the chance to see the Milky Way in its entirety on an annual basis if we’d realize…
