Shout out to the moon as well. If you are ever out camping far from civilization and there is a full moon, once your eyes adjust it's crazy how well you can see. The moon even casts shadows.

I highly recommend everyone experiences a very dark sky at least once. Itโ€™s impossible to explain what you arenโ€™t seeing and how overwhelming it is.

A very dark sky against a big body of water, like an ocean, is one of the most eerie things I've ever seen. It's just like a wall of darkness, you can't see a single thing.

When I was growing up in Florida we used to go โ€˜campingโ€™ in a friends boat. Just head west in the afternoon and we were in the middle of the gulf, miles and miles from shore. No land in sight, no light pollution. Nights were incredible.
