Valeria Matuchek And The Milky Way

Operation Luna, 41.

Valeria flies by night:

"The moon stood high, well-nigh at the half. The Milky Way swept crackling bright among uncountable stars." (p. 368)

(She will soon be on the Moon.)

This is the fourth post about descriptions of the Milky Way in Operation Luna. See also:

Steve Matuchek And The Milky Way
A Tremendous, Upholding Arch And An Ice-Clear Galaxy
Prayers And The Milky Way

I do not expect any more between p. 368 and p. 438 but you never know.
