    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,

    On a clear night, with no air-pollution or light-pollution, and no moon, you can see approximately 6000 stars with the naked eye

    If there was no light pollution, you'd be able to see precisely zero stars.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    Wait a minute

    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.

    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.

    I can't be held responsible for your poor eyesight.

    Anyway, the seven sisters are a cliff formation on the south coast between Brighton and Eastbourne. You must have been looking at teh Pleiades


    Light pollution comes from stars

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