The milk way center was so discernible it was unmistakable. And every 20 seconds a meteorite was burning up somewhere. It was kind of scary to be honest. I knew a lot about space because I already had the ‘tism and had a bunch of DK space books about black holes and planets and stars, and it was just so fucking cool seeing the raw night sky
