In Response To: Re: Question on visibility in space. (FyreWulff)


: Yeah, Omaha throws out a ton of light. It's like a gigantic dome of light
: when you're between Lincoln and Omaha on the highway before it comes into
: view.

On my family's farm in Arkansas I can sit back at watch satellites go over. It's very dark. There are a couple of towns that throw some light on the horizon, but they're partially blocked by hills.

When I worked on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico there were so many nearby rigs most of the time and the light off of them blocked the stars. The best view was when we were sailing between Corpus Christi, TX and Port Fourchon, LA, because we would cut across open water to save time. No rigs in site, a couple hundred miles from land, and our boat ran without lights. I could lay on top of the boat and it felt like I was floating through space. That was the most stars I've ever seen.
