    Honestly, it's really a remarkable knowledge about pollution, another side of thinking. It's truly appreciated.

      Living in the High Desert: Specifically, Morongo Basin which includes Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley; you quickly learn the concept of light pollution around the Christmas holiday season when too many exterior lights will result in a warning at best and a ticket at worst. Anyway, I'd rather see the stars at night🌟

    I grew up in Los Angeles, California and I never appreciated the night sky until the Army sent me overseas. Where had all those stars been hiding?

    I have always said that about Tampa Bay FL. There are so many people living here. There is overcrowding, noise pollution and light pollution. I have wanted to move away for many years now since I lost my husband. It is an overwhelming task to even think of the process by myself.

    I get sad when I can't see the sky anymore. Every time I go out to look at the stars; I think about the ones I can't see. I hope we can introduce better solutions to keep light pollution to a minimum.

    "Go out on a clear night and look up. Your destiny is there. Your difficulties are there. Your opportunities are there. Your redemption is there. To successfully survive and advance in the Greater Community, you must become unified as a race, and you must preserve your environment, no matter what the cost. It must be done because it is your evolution and destiny. It won’t happen because you want it. It will happen because it must be done."
    _Greater Community Spirituality » Chapter 15: Who serves humanity?_ - by Marshall Vian Summers.

    we exchanged the celestial with the man-made... really, we're out of sync with the dynamics of morning light and evening darkness, more so the seasons, could be the reason for many of our ails. wonderful video on many levels...

    Grand Rising Beautiful Souls...I trust that you are all confident enough to soar to new heights, leaving the past happenings behind. Just in case you are not, please check out these 2 books '12 Fundamental Truths about Forgiveness' and 'Notes To Self' by 'Judion Smith'. You will be enlightened and empowered. It is time to leave the excess weight behind. No more can the present moment wait. It passes by regardless. Live in the present moment beautiful souls and even if it's not what you desire, be hopeful...and grateful... and fearless... and strong.

    It does not matter. At the moment it's not big enough issue, and in the future there will be observatories on the far side of the moon.
