If you were to go outside on a clear night where you live...

[ThisIsMatt]

I can, but it's getting worse and worse with all the construction around here...stupid street light pollution. I feel like shooting the lights with a bb gun sometimes.

 

[RiDE]

Nope. Too bright in the city, not to mention the smog.

 

[pray4mojo]

Way too bright in LA. Sometimes its hard to even see Orion.

 

[Stojakapimp]

I live in the foothill by Sacramento and you can see everything. The sky is so bright up here

 

[Bullhonkie]

Nope. Way too much light pollution here.

 

[luvya]

I don't know what it looks like. Otherwise, I might be able to.

 

[yhelothar]

Nope, never seen it in my life 🙁
The sky is red most nights here in LA.

 

[0roo0roo]

don't like the dark . its overrated. go camping sometime and go outside at night to pee, and can't see squat.. it sucks. esp when theres tall tree cover and its more or less pitch black

The milky way is our galaxy. We are a part of it, but are located near the edge. When you 'see' the Milky Way, you are actually just looking towards the center of our galaxy and seeing the greater density of stars along that line of sight.

 

[clamum]

Yeah easily... clearest sky is at my girlfriends, on a clear night the sky is really beautiful.

EDIT: We live in a city with a population of about 14,000 - 15,000 and she lives about 10 minutes from town 😉

 

[KenSr]

Yes, there are many advantages of living in a rural area, but I don't have a fry's

 

[ndee]

no way, the airport has WAY too many lights.

 

[Ikonomi]

No, I'm in bright, smoggy southwest Houston. Not a chance. Drive 30 minutes southwest, though, and then you've got something. 😛

 

[DurocShark]

Might see Orion's Belt. If I'm lucky. 🙁

 

[phonemonkey]

I'll have a nice view once we get moved into our new house (just over a month to go). Until then, we've got lots of light pollution bouncing off the crap in the air and making everything fuzzy at best.

 

[40Hands]

Here in VT the sky is soo nice on a clear night...

 

[jadinolf]

The answer is yes. It is beautiful at night.

 

[Ladiesnhan]

I think I could if I ever spent the time to look up at the sky at night and star gaze.

 

[OutHouse]

yip had a good view of it last night.

 

[alexeikgb]

Slightly.... but the ambient light fvcks it up....

 

[BAMAVOO]

Yes. Our town of 2000 isn't making that much of a mark on the skyline 😀

 

[JeffCos]

I live 10 mins outside NYC and last year during "THE GREAT BLACKOUT!!"" <insery sinister music here> the sky was completly different. I saw this thing in the sky that i had never seen before. It was like a giant ball that appeard to be glowing almost as if it were reflecting light.

 

[torpid]

Um, we are in the milky way galaxy, but it's called that because of the milky way. I'm not sure whether I can see it or not.

 

[Armitage]

Yea, but probably not much longer. They just bu8ilt a big walmart &amp; home depot a few miles away that has really degraded the seeing. 🙁
