Stars?

[Chales 129]

Can anyone else see stars in their neighborhood? Like I used to live in the city and there were no stars but now I live a little out into the country I'm starting to notice them. Does anyone else see them are how many are there would you say?

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

I used to be able to see the stars. Then I took Toronto in the knee.

 

Yeah I used to live more north in the country but my family and I moved to Toronto and now I can't see a single star.

I live in a suburban neighborhood thank God and I can see the stars, some nights better than others. If I go camping and I'm at a nice, distant place, like Fall Creek Falls or Boxwell, it's spectacular because I can see hundreds of them.

[Zygen 6,066]

I can't really see them where I am near factorys even. but I can see some since it isn't like I'm really close to a city or anything. Just not as many as in like the country of course.

[Envy 6,167]

I can't see too many in my neighborhood. I did go out in the country and get to see them in optimal conditions with an astronomy group a few years ago, though. Even then we're still seeing such a small fraction of them. It's mind-blowing!

[Starshine 16,333]

I couldn't see any damn thing in my neighbourhood :c

 

I live in what you can say a country, but the perpetual clouds and smokes really blocks the night sky

[AnonBrony 1,468]

Well it depends where you live. Being a science geek the reaosn u can't see stars in the city is cuz of all the lights n the city. But go out into the countryside, in summer, with no clouds, and u can see every star in the sky. Even the milky way on some days. I live in a suburb so i can see most stars. Mainly the more famed ones that form constellations

How many are out there though. Thats hard to say. Thousands. Millions. Maybe even billions. You can't count them all.

[Dice The Titanic Brony 68]

I can see them clearly each night it ISNT foggy as hell.

Stupid halifax and its fog lol.

I would estimate there to be about one googleplex stars in the sky (highest number named)

Thats about one and a couple of hundred zeros.....

Then again.......100 may not be enough.

every year at summer... i return to my family farm... i live in the city... and i rarely see stars... on the farm, its so dark i can see the milky way... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY STARS

[MagicalStarRain 599]

I can see some stars in my neighbor. there aren't any streetlights on my street, so I can see a fair amount of them. Luckily,we're getting closer to winter, so they're going to be much brighter!

[Marcato 2,143]

I can see the stars only really in the winter. At least, that's when I notice them the most. Otherwise it's really difficult and you have to be looking for them to really find them. I remember one time when I went a long ways from our home with my family for camping. We went outside and looked up,

This is pretty much what we saw. (Hey look mountains! We just happened to be in the mountains at this time!)

Simply brilliant. I could stare at it all night.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I don't live in a big city so it's pretty nice to go out at night and be able to see the stars. As long as it's not cloudy I can easily see constellations like the Southern Cross and Orion's Belt.

[Ivory Moth 19]

I live in a city, but it isn't heavily populated, so yeah, I can see the stars from my house. I live in Lowell, Massachusetts. You know, the city that brought the entirety of the Industrial Revolution to the U.S? The one nopony knows about?

[SrFrog 927]

Weather allowing, all I have to do is turn my head to the right. I guess living near the Cascade Range has it's perks if you enjoy all of that outdoorsy stuff. I know I do...

[I used to be a stranger 7,993]

The Bodensee is not the most ideal place to see stars, since major cities are nearby. However it's not all that challenging to get away from them.

Even so, smaller-ish cities in the middle of nowhere in Germany aren't exactly known for their nightlife, so it gets pretty dark.

[Flying Whales 311]

I live in the middle of the desert where it is pitch black at night, it’s just dark for miles, it’s one of the few things I enjoy about living out here is that at night you can see every star in the sky and there are surprisingly many.

[sleepyhead. 174]

Oh...I wish. I live in a busy suburb where the stars are barely visible. I kind of hope for power outages sometimes JUST so I can see them.

 

Star gazing is a lot of fun.

[RazzyJam 1,519]

I used to be able to see stars, then they built this huge shipping company down the road and they have their lights on all the time. You cant see anything now

[Guest]

I've always been able to see the stars from where I live. I don't live in a very big city so the light doesn't blur them out. I like looking at stars a lot at night... just gazing up there and thinking of the amazing things that lies beyond our small Earth.

[CapnKrunk 307]

When I used to live outside the city limits back in Las Cruces.You could see the stars with no distractions.And the air was clean,and dry.Which made it easy to have epic deep thoughts.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

At my house, on a hill, I can see the stars quite clearly. But if I am in the city, all the blinding lights and tall buildings make it rather hard to see anything in the sky.

[A Blithering Div 247]

Where I live, there's virtually no light pollution. There's a streetlight across from my house and that's it. So the sky is pretty clear. Clear enough to easily see the Milky Way during a new moon. Its quite nice. If only the overcast would go away.

[SongBrony 419]

I ******* HATE LIGHT POLLUTION!! I can barely see the stars where I live because of how much light there is. But when I go camping with my scout troop, I will literally sit outside my tent in a clearing with my sleeping bag and just stare at them. They amaze me. Plus it leaves a lot of room for intensive thought. It reminds me of how small we are in the universe. (And now I've delved into philosophical talk.)

[Nah 3,182]

I have barely seen any stars in the sky, and its an amazing sight to see the pictures, plus if you can't see the stars, its light pollution, and it diminishes our view of the night sky.

 

The more lighted your area and city is, the less stars you see:

I might just move to Canada. Just so I can see the night sky for what it brings to us at night. I think Luna would like it if we stopped bringing in all this light pollution.
