I was lucky, as I grew up in the hamlet of Briantspuddle, which has no streetlights, so we got to see lots of stars (though not as many as I saw from the deck of a boat sailing in the Whitsundays back in 96), but here in Melbourne we only see the very brightest, especially when the lights are on at the MCG… I’m all for the Dark Sky Association.

There are a few places in America where we can still see stars…where I’m currently living in Minnesota is not one of them. I do miss my Rocky Mountain stargazing….
