Out of control light pollution. How many folks have never seen the Milky Way in their life.

Most think it's a candy bar.

I wonder how many people actually look at the sky...

If the light density is well corellated with population density, then the Mountain states are empty.
Either get breeding, or use more halogins!

And then I look at Alaska and it's looking more and more like Fin's Retirement Package...

I'm drooling just thinking about looking through a telescope without the light pollution...

At the moment, I'm in Illinois visiting family.

Dang it all, I can see I left the bathroom light on in my Florida house when I departed. Thanks a lot!

"A beautiful thing"

Flying into L.A. at night, I am reminded of jewels on velvet.

Always astonished at a work of consummate art, created unintentionally for other purposes.

Where's Canada? Do they have a curfew and turn off all their lights?
