Events in the Night Sky - Photography by Stan Richard - from Iowa, Wisconsin, Wyoming - aurora borealis (northern lights), night sky, landscape, moon, planets, weather


"I would rather be ashes than dust!  I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.  I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in a magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.  The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.  I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.  I shall use my time."

-Jack London
