  2. It takes at least half an hour for the eye to adjust to proper darkness. A quick glance at a smartphone screen will wipe out your night vision.

    The clear night sky really does look like those floodlit photos of the galaxy as a white glowing band across the sky.

    Many people who live in cities today have never seen it their whole lives. There is too much light pollution and they have never let their eyes adjust outside in the total dark.

  3. People who never experienced the night sky without **any** light pollution are really missing out. People should add it to their bucket lists.

  4. Seeing that night sky they probably thought it’s the end of time…

  6. Went to Korčula in Croatia once and we arrived so late we saw a beautiful night sky without light pollution, it looked amazing.

  9. Beautiful, the only time I was able to see the Milky Way it felt magical, I was in the Merzouga desert in Morocco

  10. Those streaks on the photo, aren’t they unfortunately Starlink satellites? On long exposure shots their movement becomes readily apparent.

  11. Awesome! Are there any plans for more blackouts? Jk lol

  12. Does this affect humans in any way to never have a clear night sky? I mean we evolved to alway have seen it, only in recent years it has gone
