I wish I could gaze upon our galaxy with my own eyes. The blessings of the city life has masked the beauty lingering above my head, hiding away what my ancestors drew inspiration from for thousands of years. It makes me a little sad to think that I never got to witness how it really looks like.

go on a boat and look up at the stars

Drive about an hour or two out of town, you can see it then. I was told by my dad all the time when he moved out of cali to the midwest that he was always shocked of how blue the sky was. To this day it still amazes him.

I have good things to say about some places 80miles northwest of flagstaff Arizona. The sky is beautiful above the high northern dessert, the cold, dry atmosphere in January and February makes for wonderful star gazing!

>>10708 >Drive about an hour or two out of town, you can see it then. Provided you won't reached a different town in that time. I remember it was simpler about 10 years ago where I live. Back then the little towns and villages didn't had a lot of light polution like they do now. All you had to do was find a spot about 2-3km away from any settlement and you could see the milky way perfectly. Heck about 20 years ago all I had to do was visit my grandparents summer cotage and step out side during the night. Now they have street lights in that spot and the village near that cotage gives to much light to see it the way you could see it 20 year ago. But all in all OP just look for a spot outside of your town as far away from settlements as possible. Also this could be useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-sky_preserve

Sorry for the double post but this also would help you find a good spot: https://www.lightpollutionmap.info
