It really is an experience. I’m from NJ and lived in the NYC metro area for 7 years so I’ve never really seen “true” darkness.
A few years back I went out to Colorado and a few friends and I stayed in a cabin up in The Rocky Mountains. That’s true darkness. On the road up to the cabin we turned the headlights off, got out of the car and you couldn’t see your hands it was so dark. It was cloudy so we couldn’t see much, but it was still pretty awesome to see the stars that bright (when we could).
Yes absolutely. I took a trip out towards the middle of Australia and it was crazy, we don’t even have that much light pollution in our cities but the difference is still massive.
Oh yeah, definitely out there, that’s the epitome of “the middle of nowhere” haha Where we were there was a small community up on the mountain, but nothing that really affected the darkness of what we saw since it was a good mile up the road and it was just house lights.
Seeing the stars in a properly dark area, maybe?
