I've been turning all my own lights off and going outside on moonless nights only to realize it's still bright enough to easily read once my eyes adjust :angery:

A couple years ago there was a big power outage in my town for a day or two. I wish I had started getting into astronomy and stargazing back then because I wasn't able to appreciate how dark it probably was at night. Didn't even cross my mind to look at that time. Eagerly awaiting the next time our rotting infrastructure allows me to look into the heavens.
