We are strewn among the rocks, each of us surveying a swath of sky on the lookout for Lyrid meteors eager for their milliseconds of fame. It is a moonless night, and the desert stillness is a perfect reflection of the soundless fireworks in the skies above. The sodium glow of the horizon is a gentle reminder that most the inhabitants of our planet will never witness the Milky Way stretching across the sky, will never feel the oneness with the Universe that we feel here.
