I think it looks lovely.

First impression: it’s a bit early for Christmas, but I’d swear that was Santa and his reindeer. :)

That string of lights would destroy the look of the night sky. It is like putting windmills all over the place. He could at least paint then black.

I’ve been an amateur astronomer for about 30 years and I think they’re cool as heck. Would love to have an opportunity to see them pass by in the night sky. I often check the website heavens-above.com for a schedule of visible passes of the International Space Station (ISS). Also very cool.
