When I was young growing up the sky was lit up at night with beautiful stars, but living here in the city, I can’t tell u when the last time I seen a beautiful star at night. Where u live do u still see the shiny bright stars at night

only in the country! No hazy smog. no city lights.

i live in a small city so you still get a bit of the night sky shining through
but...
i am always amazed by the beauty of the sky when i go home to the farm
it is one of the things i miss the most - it is just so brilliant out there!
and if you are lucky mother nature will bless you with the light show known as the northern lights

i live in the western mountians of NC ... FAR from city lights

there are a bazillion stars out at night

one of my fav times to sky watch is near aug when the milky way is almost in reach of my upper bedroom deck

I grew up in the country and there was always millions of stars But now Im in the city and theres only ever one or two, on a really clear night

Just one of the many things I miss about home

It’s really sad because the young kids growing up in the city 2day r missing so much. I remember rainbows after the rain. Your lucky 2 see a butterfly where I live.

The first and only time I've seen that was in Vancouver. It was truly spectacular, but I was so surprised since I thought it could only occur much further north, hence the name.

uhhh....to the Walk of Fame?

My friend, Kath, travelled through the Australian outback and she's told me many times how awestruck she was gazing at the stars. No light pollution whatsoever. She reckoned you could even see the Milky Way.

I bet it's awesome...

I've seen the northern lights here in Minnesota.

one night last summer i was driving home and was just astounded...
i have seen northern lights many times... one spectatular time they were even purple and red... just beautiful!

but this night - firstly you don't see lights in the summer as often as you would in the winter
and they are usually brief shimmery streaks that dance in the sky for a second and then they are gone... followed by more streaks that dance and then disappear

but the entire sky overhead was like god had taken a giant green shimmery silk scarf and was gently moving it up and down
i had to go out in the backyard and just marvel at the sight.
it would weave and wave and shimmer and get fainter and more intense... the whole sky it was amazing
