Sadly the Milky Way is disappearing, drown by light pollution of civilization. Visit the
International Dark-Sky Association
website.
This photo shows the brightest portion of the Milky Way in Sagittarus. It is taken from Greene county, Pittsburgh. It's an hour's drive from the city, and is as dark as the sky gets around here.
