The weather was a bit cruddy one night on the mountain, so I went to bed thinking it may improve later.
I got up sometime in the early hours and stepped outside to look and was momentarily terrified: The sky had cleared, and, in my fully dark-adapted state, I was staring straight into the heart of the galaxy.
It was as if I'd opened a starship's airlock and stepped out into interstellar space.
It's the only time I've had that particular experience, but it was just plain freaky.
