I live in a green part and I have never seen the Milky Way, I hate my life and I hate my country for not putting smart lights which lights up when a car pass.

America is interesting, almost a totally vertical slice halfway through the country
Mason Morales
What happens here?
Alexander Young
Feels good to be on the Best Coast
Jack Foster
It should be west of Fargo but there's absolutely nothing here
Adrian Reyes
ya... nothing out there
Hudson Hernandez
What are those targets? I'm looking around that area and there's just farmland, I can only assume there's tons of greenhouses in that region, since they also produce tons of light
Angel Lewis
Oil fields, same reason North Dakota has very low unemployment

lol you poor naive soul
ICBM bases

I guess, just looks like they're generating way more light than I'd expect, since aren't they mostly undergound installations
Ayden Miller
It's probably a mistake on that map. The place is dark on this website.
Jace Price
federal niggers and oil

why does america have much more giant blobs despite europe being more densely populated?
Jason Baker

i've never seen it

Sometimes you can see the stars on a bright night, but I'm from one of the green dots in the Netherlands.
Intesive agriculture make it even worse. This is what the sky looks like in the west of the Netherlands.
Nolan King
I can see it here sometimes if the sky is clear. It's very pretty.
Blake Young
We're a big country, with lots and lots and lots of urban/semi-urban areas

I didn't even know you could see it lol

Also in the north and near Rotterdam it's even worse since they sometimes have to release pressure from our gas valve system by burning it, causing the night sky to turn orange.
Bentley Robinson
You can but the sky needs to be very clear and the conditions right.
Here in Sweden it's pretty easy to see it if you are near the coasts during night for example.
Pic related is a very popular photo among Swedish photographers when it comes to the Milky-way. It was taken a few years ago.

No, they haven't. I used to be often on business trips in Belgium, and the light pollution there was very strong. Being in Belgium, I always missed my small town, because there I could take my telescope and watch the night sky being surrounded by wildlife. It's so nice, the residents of metropolitans can't imagine how gorgeous the Milky Way is, you can watch it for hours without stopping.

Imagine if humans had never been able to see stars. No one would have learned to navigate the oceans, we wouldn't have space technology etc.
If a species evolved on a planet with no visible sky, they'd just never start to wonder like "what's all that glowing shit". It's telling that we even have mythology revolving around pictures that people see in the sky

As a kid, I remember darkness for the first time. It was this midnight CTF thing in the forest during winter. Movies don't portray night time very well so I guess it was quite a shock to me. I find it amazing that the organizers even allowed this.
Nolan Diaz
I live in a more yellow/red place, but in cold bright nights I can see the little bear and Orion.
