Re: Behold! It has happened again
I was amazed when we wnet to Devon and at night you could actually see hundreds of stars. Can't see them round here at night that clearly,
Re: Behold! It has happened again
On a clear night, with no air-pollution or light-pollution, and no moon, you can see approximately 6000 stars with the naked eye :smilie4:

If there was no light pollution, you'd be able to see precisely zero stars.

Wait a minute :dry:
Barbie will tell me I'm wrong and then I'll explain, using the gift of English Language pedantry that I am, in fact, correct.
Re: Behold! It has happened again
You're wrong. :dry:
This I've got to see. :mellow:
Re: Behold! It has happened again
I'm trying to see the seven sisters, yeah? I can only see one blob of light due to the light pollution coming from the other stars.
Light pollution comes from stars too - therefore if there was no light pollution at all, you'd not be able to see any stars.

no sun = no light

Re: Behold! It has happened again
I can't be held responsible for your poor eyesight. :dabs:
Anyway, the seven sisters are a cliff formation on the south coast between Brighton and Eastbourne. You must have been looking at teh Pleiades :smilie4:

the sun is switched off at night, yet there's still light. How so? :blink:
