More than a third of humanity cannot see the Milky Way due to light pollution, and a new wave of energy-efficient lighting could make the problem much worse Yet 90% wouldn't know they were looking at the Milky Way even if they could see it.

Last year I saw the Milky Way like I’d never seen it before, from the northern most tip of New Zealand - no artificial light for many, many miles. It was amazing!

Yet 90% wouldn't know they were looking at the Milky Way even if they could see it. And one could live a full and prosperous life without ever know that...unless your a liberal, then you are entitled to be outraged over absolutely nothing.

I lived in northern Michigan, in Charlevoix, which is a beautiful resort town on the 45th parallel, for over 35 years. On clear nights, you can actually see satellites traveling from the South to the North, finally disappearing below the horizon. It became somewhat of a joke when my friends would rib me for asking girls if they wanted to go ""Satellite Watching".
