她在冰川点等待着。那里是山谷上方的一处高崖。小群人聚集在那里观看日落。
太阳落下了。对面的半圆顶山变成了红色,然后变暗。人群轻轻地鼓掌。
一位公园天文学家架起了一台小型望远镜。他开始讲解夜空。他说大多数美国城市因为街灯已经看不到银河了。但优胜美地仍然有黑暗的夜空。
第一颗星星一颗接一颗地出现。然后,银河显现了出来。它是一条横跨天空的淡淡的光带。光带中有些地方是黑暗的,那是因为尘埃遮住了星星。
天文学家把望远镜对准一个小点。“这是我们银河系的中心,”他说,“它距离我们有两万六千光年。”
一位游客透过望远镜看了看。然后天文学家让Polly也看。她通过目镜看到了许多星星和尘埃。
那些星星的光在两万六千年前就开始了它们的旅程。Polly看了很久。
