In my grandparent's village they turn the street lights off at around one o'clock and on a clear moonless night you are left only with the stars, countless, vast constellations, stars of every size and color. Beautiful and humbling.

Light pollution doesn't deserve a positive smiley because it has badly affected many creatures that I consider innocent. We at least can intellectually adjust to the use of all 24 hours. I look at this video more as a view on ourselves than the sky and beyond.

Stunning pictures, but I'm sorry: I don't buy it. Earth's atmosphere will take away a considerable amount of awesomeness.
Sure, this is what you'd see from the International Space Station but I doubt that even if you went into the deepest Sahara, or Australian outback - far from artificial light sources - you'd be able to see the sky quite this clearly.
Still, I don't doubt for a second that light pollution takes away a lot of our night skies. Just not this much.

#4 Sorry..have to disagree. I dont see stars at home..but when i visit my rich cousin..3km away in a small area that all this rich guys build their houses..at night they shut off the streetlights (private..not public road) and you see stars crystal clear..awesome sight..last night the moon was so bright it could blind you

I remember we used to go to Switzerland into the Alps when I was very small and in the evening we'd sit outside on the balcony, lights out, and watch the starry night, like that. I wished I could experience that again. It was stunning.

Really beautiful videos, some familiar to me, but the kind I could watch all the time. Thank you #7!
