Found my childhood telescope photos, and the sky was actually BLACK.

I was sorting through a box in the attic and found these old snaps. Now when I try from the same window, it's just a fuzzy ORANGE blob from all the new lights. Do you think we'll ever get serious about dark sky preserves?

Used to think light pollution was no big deal, but your pics changed my mind.

Yeah @the_dylan, those pics really show what we're missing.

Photos make it real, but being out there under a dark sky is a whole different thing. Your eyes adjust and the Milky Way just looks like a cloud up there. We've let it get so bad most kids have never seen that. Makes you wonder what else we've just gotten used to losing.
