Q. Where was Moses when the lights went out?... Landmarks to go dark Saturday night for 'Earth hour' March 25, 2017 -- Some of the world's most recognizable landmarks are going dark Saturday night in observance of Earth hour to raise awareness about global warming. See also: Another reason to flip the switch: light pollution 2017-03-25 | For the 11th consecutive year, cities worldwide are turning their lights off today to mark Earth Hour in a global call to action on climate change, but the moment of darkness should also serve as a reminder, activists said, of another problem that gets far less attention — light pollution. Ans. In the dark.
Now that's the kind of pollution that really bothers me. After having seen the Milky Way on a clear night from a desert in the middle of nowhere, idk, it's beautiful. I'm not saying I want to take the guns of government to anyone to do anything about it, but it does suck that it's gone for most of us.
It looks like a cloud, but it's not a cloud. It's enough stars to look like a smeared streak of light across the entire sky.
I go running at night sometimes. On a clear night, I have to bring a little flashlight for some unlit dark areas, so I can be seen and see. On a cloudy night, no flashlight needed. The city lights reflecting off the clouds give plenty of illumination. The whole sky is literally glowing dimly.
I live about 6500 ft. in the mountains of Central Az.. Clear nights, I see the Milky Way. Every night I see the glow from Phoenix 90 miles to the south. On weekends and holidays the flatlanders come up and turn on their floodlights.... they just don't appreciate anything that doesn't involve technology.
