I've had that experience at some nice dark Utah localities -- found myself straining to pick out well-known constellations just because there were so many other stars! The night sky is a wonderful resource that our ancestors had, which we are rapidly losing. If I were king, I would enforce dark-sky conservation rules. It's just ridiculous that so much light shoots up uselessly, wasting resources and destroying the view. -- Joe
My kids were just here for Christmas and were telling me how wonderful Iraq is at night. They say it's hard to pick out the Milky Way for all the stars.
