Astrophotographer Chris Bakley took the image from Cape May, New Jersey on Aug. 27, 2014.



This stunning image shows the clouds of the Milky Way over a lifeguard's cabin in New Jersey.

Astrophotographer Chris Bakley took the image from Cape May, New Jersey on Aug. 27, 2014. "What an amazing night! Was able to get out there and photograph the stars for a few hours and just relax. Met up with a few little seal pups that came right up to me," Bakley wrote on his Facebook page.

Our host galaxy, the Milky Way, is a barred spiral galaxy seen as a band of light in the night sky. It stretches between 100, 000 and 120,000 light-years in diameter. It is estimated that the galaxy has approximately 400 billion stars. At the center of our galaxy lies a gigantic black hole billions of times the size of the sun.

What's more important, the data or the jazz? Sure, sure, 'Information should be free' and all that?but anyone can set information free. The jazz is in how you do it, what you do it to, and in almost getting caught without getting caught. The data is 1's and 0's. Life is the jazz.
