When was the last time you saw a midnight sky with 30 or more stars?

[Tempokai]

I went home at midnight yesterday because I was overtiming. After an hour in a taxi, I arrived at my neighborhood, which had all of its lights turned off, including streets lights (there was a short malfunction in the electric plant). I walked in silence, looking up to see stars dotted across the sky. Big and small, with a hint of the Milky Way in the background. Only my footsteps could be heard in the relative silence (if you exclude the sounds of passing distant cars). It was a wonderful sight. It helped me to unwind after long hours of work.

So, when was the last time you saw a star-studded midnight sky? Images you've seen from the internet and mental astral projections from your mind do not count.

March probably, it's nearly summer now and I'm in bed by 10pm which is still twilight here in the North.

Probably back when I was in my hometown 12 or so years ago. I still see stars in the night sky but its usually just a few dots of light

I usually see tons of stars including the cluster belt on my night walks but I also live in the middle of nowhere so I have an easier time seeing stars than others. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, I'll always see them but what constellations I see are dependent on the time of year.

Every night, bar the cloudy ones. They are definitely easier to see in the winter, but even so light pollution has never been much of a problem, despite me living close to a pretty big city. The clearest I've ever seen the night sky is probably when I went up to the far north part of Maine.

That was like 10 years ago

I dont remember when i last went outside

Never much went beyond 10 stars but if I wanted to look for it maybe it will take within a month just staring at the stars for 10 or so minute.

The Last time was in about 3-5 days ago was a clear night sky.

Yesterday. I live near LA, pollution incorporated and even I get more than 30 stars. What kind of hellhole do you live in?

 

[Wysillesthal]

Several weeks, if not months ago. I can't tell how many visible stars are there because of minus 6 eyesight (even with eyeglasses), but it does relieved me from stress and makes me rethink of my mindset of not being able to admire night sky anymore.

Alright, the number of people in this thread that say they can rarely see the stars is starting to trouble me. As @ConansWitchBaby said, "What kind of hellhole do you live in?"

It's not that I can rarely see stars, but chose not to, not reason at all. I have nearsightedness to begin with, and unable to determine how many stars are there but if I were to guess, then perhaps less than 30.

Alright, I don't know how to quote...

That's really sad.

Near the mountain range, in the plains that has slight "depression", in a big city that was designed to be "small".

Because there's little wind in that depression, old cars that has same age as the zoomers nowadays pollute the air, and blocks the sky.

If you would've climbed up the mountains, the smog can be seen in full glory, blocking the city.

Thankfully I have the gorgeous mountains to look at in the morning, because I live near the hills, so I'm not complaining about the city itself.

I don't know. It has been maybe two years or something since I've been outside late enough to see the stars.
