I saw the best Milky Way of my life while driving from Las Vegas to Phoenix on a summer night. My friend’s car had a sunroof, but I had my eyes on the road so I hadn’t noticed. At some point the guy sitting at the back points up and goes “is that the Milky Way??” And my friend who was on the passenger seat goes “you know the sunroof is tinted right?” It was SO BRIGHT! We stopped the car, went out and stayed there a good half hour just staring up, one of the best memories of my first trip to the US.
