I am quite lucky and live in the country far from city lights.
It makes viewing the night sky a real pleasure. If you enjoy a little star gazing and would like a great aid please check out this site. It's brilliant! http://server1.wikisky.org/?locale=EN |

If you think living in the country is good for sky viewing you should try an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean.

If you think living in the country is good for sky viewing you should try an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean. I bet that's an amazing sight. For those of us not fortunate enough to be able to get that far away from land, the high deserts of the southwest are about as good as it gets. Wide open and far from city lights. Also, any good mountain top will do in a pinch. You usually don't get quite as wide a view in the mountains thought. Both of these have the advantage of being at higher altitudes where there is less atmospheric distortion.

I remember being out in the country and looking at the night sky, it was awesome! You could make out the spiraling arm of the Milky Way and I must have counted more than 30 shooting stars over the course of just a couple of hours.

I live in big sky country....it feels like being under a giant upturned bowl...no light pollution, no planes, very few satellites...in august through to november the sky is full of shooting stars...
It is great to have that as a part of our worlds....I'm reminded how small and insignificant we really are. |
