But they probably have lights up now  |
Lights isn't bad. It's the amount of light and the fixtures used. We have a light on the street in front of the house. But when I look up, even while seeing that light, I can see the milky way. Light pollution is always easily visible when it's cloudy. The clouds will be visible, lit from underneath. Or when you move out of town in the dark. You'll see a "bubble" of light on the horizon over that town.
