What do we do about light pollution? The majority of thw west can no longer see the milky way at night (70%)

Here for see the milky way you need to go in the middle of the Alps, light pollution in Italy is really bad , but nobody talk about this, they just continue to install leds lights everywhere.

yeah man, unfortunately most of the eu is like this and the us closely to follow suit, it's a fucking shame

Present

So beautiful I almost want to buy an iphone instead of borrowing others to take photos, my old Samsung can't even pick up 10% of this

You can see all of this in the sahara desert btw since no one live there, it's an unhapitable ocean of sand

They are just little twinklies in the sky

they do not make your life better her on earth

they are

BORING

fuck dude thats gorgeous. imagine sleeping under these stars everynight

My little neck of the woods

This is why I plan to move near the border with Switzerland, I want a starry sky, and no Niggers around

High elevation + dry climate + no light pollution = the universe on display every night

That's not what it looks like to the naked eye

i live in the West Coast too thankfully, i've been meaning to go star gazing with my girl, but it hasnt happened yet. The most i've seen is class 3 night sky

Your eyes take at least 15 minutes to adjust to the night sky, but you ADD zoomies can't look away from your phone for five minutes. Sad

You have to be out on a new moon with really clear atmospheric conditions and spend long enough away from artificial lights to let your retinas fully sensitize. You can't go from looking at a screen or having a dim lamp on to seeing that stuff in 10 seconds or 2 minutes or even 10 minutes in many cases. It takes a little while. If the moon is out at all you're not going to get the proper effect. Unfortunately most people who talk about this stuff don't mention how much planning goes into seeing the sky like portrayed in the really flashy photos. Astro nerds do but nobody really listens to them.

based, it is nicer over there is seems, less globohomo factories working 24/7

Grim.

oh no shlomo would lose factories running 24/7

oy very

Fuck, still yet to do that, maybe when winter is over again.

And if you use lights light a torch put s red filter or a red piece of paper ,and if you want recognise constellations use apps like stellarion they already got the red filter option.
Yes, i Just want that and nothing else

very accurate for me, the words being wrong though. now show your own, if you dare.

Really, doesn’t the benefit of having electricity outweigh this? Sure it is a pity but as far as trade offs go, not being able to see some pretty lights in the sky at the time you’re usually sleeping annd don’t see them anyway isn’t a terrible one.

What do we do about light pollution? The majority of thw west can no longer see the milky way at night (70%)

I’m more afraid that the aliens are gonna see us and launch planet killing weapons

Paris and Milan, the beacons of Europe and western civilisation.

Banning LED lights on pickup trucks would cut down on light pollution dramatically.

Really, doesn’t the benefit of having electricity outweigh this?

Yes, but it's not just because of electricity.

There's plenty that cities can do to reduce light pollution without really sacrificing anything of value (remove billboards and the like, better designed street lights, reducing anything pointing upwards in general since it's fucking pointless).

Or you live down the road from the only Dark Sky site in the country , if your eyes need 10 minutes to adjust to the dark that's because of your weak genetics mate.

Switzerland still has a shitton of rapefugees of all types to Balkan, east European, turkroach, asian, mudslime and nafri, brown and white Americans etc.

You can actually still see the glow of the cities from over 100 miles away even in the mountains. The truly actual dark areas are in fuckoff middle of nowhere places without a gas station for 60-100 miles.

they shoot light in all directions literally causing the earth to become one giant floodlight, blocking out the night sky. not just trucks and other vehicles, but basically anything municipal that uses LEDs at night. trust me, i'm an oldfag. i remember orange-ish halogen car headlights and halogen street lights being everywhere. you can drive through a metropolitan city and see stars and a perspective of the distance of outer space everywhere. zoomers will never know this feel unless you're balls deep in the wilderness or mountainous terrain. it's over

I live in rural England and on a clear night you can see thousands of stars and shit but I'm beginning to think the milky way is fake and gay and added in post by the space cultists

Italian border near Switzerland not Switzerland , because the small villages are the only place in Italy with niggers, and I'm looking for one with a church, because if there is a church the risk of Niggers is higher, because they love spread niggers everywhere

I've slept in the desert, 100km away from any town, and the sky was in "rural" setting.

yes you can.
you can easily see the white of the milky way in a bortle level 1 sky.

you can easily see nebulosity with the naked eye, including things like m42.

dumbass your eyes take 30-40 minutes to fully acquire "night vision". that's not your eyes vs their eyes, that's human eyes. everything they said was correct.

you aren't in a bortle class 1 sky.
probably a 3, maybe a 2.

if you go somewhere with bortle class 1 skies, you can't even see constellations because there are simply TOO MANY stars.

Soon to be city fag here.
I can tell you. Living in the Rural to town. I don't give a shit about the countryside or the fucking sky at night. I don't even bother to go out late anymore anyway. Why do you stupid faggots severely obsess over this? It's just fucking stars in the sky. It means literally nothing. You are not fucking Astrophysicists, You do not work at planetariums. Shut the fuck up please and go fuck each other off in your gay-ass stars in the sky shit.

It does not take 40 minutes to see the milky way with your own eyes here. Lay off the corn syrup

You are never ever leaving this enclosed plane alive you retarded golem, that's all.

thats the milky way you dumbfuck

the only places in england with bortle 2 are parts of north devon
there are dark sky reserves up north with bortle 3
but anon probably lives in bortle 4 which covers most farmland in england

long exposure taken from directly under a street light

kek
if you don't want to live near light pollution then just move

although if we had no cities we have no problems in the world either

replace yellow street lights with bright af white-blue narrow spectrum lights

replace white people who turn off their lights at night with brown people who all have a 50k lux outdoor light to light up their back garden for some fucking reason

Nebula

lol what?
It’s pitch black with many stars, you’re not going to see much colour out there

American folk is criminally underrated, mostly because they'll never get (((record deals and publicity))).

just normalise destruction of street lights
a drone with spray paint could block out two per minute

you won't see colour because rods are more sensitive than cones in the dark

Shitties will always be light polluted, so you need to move to the countryside to see the stars.
