Re: Europe's Night Lights
Nice picture.. but not. Few things compare with seeing the stars at night on an open and clean sky. Not easy with so much light polution.

Re: Europe's Night Lights
Europe is pretty, even at night.
 And look at France, the prettiest of all.  I don't think anyone of us has ever seen the stars without any light pollution. It seems hard, looking at this picture.

Yes it is beautiful, it looks like a star system or a galaxy, and that is exactly what it is, the Europa galaxis. Any sailor may watch the stars unpolluted by lights, midatlantic. Being onboard a ship or a boat is a great advantage. The stars may look very far away, but that is an illusion, they are just above our heads, and if one streaches out, one sometimes can tickle them under the "feet" Last edited by Savage; Friday, June 16th, 2006 at 02:52.
