Sleep better tonight — try Dozely free for 7 days: https://dozely.net/?a=shad&c=science-with-... Tonight is a slow drift through the real story of our home galaxy, one true thing at a time. Many believe the night sky is a frozen portrait, but the Milky Way is a violent, churning engine of light and gravity that never stops shifting. We will explore the massive barred spiral that holds our solar system and discover the forces that pull its billions of stars through the darkness. There is nothing to remember here and no need to stay awake as we journey through the deep reaches of space. Settle in, let your breathing slow, and allow yourself to drift into the quiet vastness of the cosmos.
