...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?

(PS this was inspired by Delhommey's Timescapes thread)

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.

    • You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.
    • TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
