This first image is the city night lights in the hemisphere where I live.



This next image is my immediate neighborhood, with a Google Earth "Eye Altitude" of 50 miles. No, it's not very easy to see the stars at night where I currently live.


This last image is also from an "Eye Altitude" of 50 miles. This is directly over where I'm planning to take a vacation one of these days. When I get there I'm going to take off my watch, turn off my cell phone and look at the stars.
