Astronomers, both professional and amatuer are very concerned about this
energy going into the sky. Australia has some of the darkest skies in the
world, a haven for astronomers, but I believe that in some parts of the
World, it is only possible to see the seven brightest stars with the naked
eye. What a shame for the kids who live their. Some of my fondest memories
are of the night sky on camping trips.
