Vanilla Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Recent studies have shown that constant exposure to light, even the lower levels of light in housing areas are detrimental to life-forms. Apparently, evolution does NOT like developers. My feelings on the ruining of our sky is unprintable on this forum...although I can say it involves very nasty thoughts.

Paranoidsam Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Oh to live on the far side of the Moon.I would actually rather see the night sky from the lunar far side, than see Earth from space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carina Lass Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Seeing Earth from the moon is a double edged sword - as when the Earth is dark, the moon is lit and when the Earth is lit, you can't see the sky anyway (it'd be like a full moon!!).I think I'd like to live in the shadow of a large crater so that I could see Earth when I got homesick.

Space Bat Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Time machine - to go back before industrial revolution, I wonder how many moons of Jupiter would Galileo have seen from his back garden in London in today's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason a full moon interferes with astronomy on earth is the atmosphere scattering all of the lunar light.Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
