How come I never...

...see as many stars at night as I used to? This is something that has been bugging me lately...

On a clear, moonless night in a place far away from city lights, you should be able to see about 2000 stars.

...and then you see pictures like this...

...where you can see the Milky Way...

I don't recall the last time I have seen more than 7 or 8 stars in the sky at night... Is pollution that bad? Is my vision that bad?... WTF?

Like everyone else has said, it is light pollution.

Here is a dark sky finder that works like a radar for rain. The white/red is the worst, gray has almost no light pollution. The places with no light pollution will blow your mind when looking at the stars. As you can tell, you basically can't even tell it is night in Charlotte, let alone see stars. The closest place to Charlotte to get a good view is in the southwestern tip of NC. If you really want to see some awesome views go to the Monongahela National Forest on the WV/VA border.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
