i know if you go out into the country far away from the bright lights you could see it. but i never really had the time for it. im definently going to do so in the future. but anyways how is the view where you live. is it like that pictuce up there or could you barely see the stars.

On a nice night its like that in the country up here

Yeah, in most cities, and even towns, its nigh impossible to see that many stars and that clear. The lights of a city are usually so bright that it makes it impossible to see the stars, USUALLY.

But, yeah, in the country it's easy as hell to see stars like that. Where I used to live, in what I refer to a village, a town with 6,000 people, it is really easy to see the stars like that. But, where I live now is a college town, so it's a lot bigger, and seeing the stars here is pretty hard, =(.

I wanted, and still want to be, an astronomer...only problem is, you have to be a genius with math; I'm only a genius in English.

Yeah I live in the country and a lot of stars are visible depending on the weather.

You dont need be a genius... dont being a complet moron is enough, i tell you... dont abandon your hope before trying, man!
Try it, see if you can stand the hardness of the math, and only give up if you really cant stand it...

Anyway... even if i live in a huge city (10M+ people), i live in a somewhat retired area, so when the weather is dry i can see lots of stars. Even some cloud-like things that are the milky way... of course they are not like that picture, but brilliant enough for being visible.

Once i went to a place in the mountains, and did see the most starry sky i ever seen... it was awesome... like that picture... there was so much stars i couldnt even recognize the constellations... the sky wasnt black, but some very dark grey... i could see the outline of trees framed against the sky... and falling stars... lots of them... if i were given to making wishes for each one i did see, i could have all my problems solved in just one night... That was one of the most amazing nights i ever did see...

even tho i live in a small shitty town, hardly at all.. our town isn't very dark, and we live just miles outside houston...

light pollution is a bitch

Depends what bar I have been to and how much I have drank.

i have the coast 5mins one way and one of the largest forests in england 5mins the other way and on a clear night you can see thousands of stars, very relaxing gazeing at the stars when stoned and hearing the waves crashing against the beach.

I can see them beautifully from my house.
It's in an old, quiet neighborhood that borders on conservation land and then drops down to the confluence of two major rivers.
My house is right at the edge of the neighborhood and I love sitting on my back patio in the evenings and just enjoying the stars and the fireflies.

I grew up in the country, and spent alot of my child-hood years on my families farm. I remember getting up at 5am and walking down to the barn to feed all of the animals. It was a beautiful sight. You could see the stars awesomely from there...way out in the "cut".

Now I live in the burbs, and you can still see them, just not as well.
