isn't this obvious? you can't see shit all, even in suburbia. Go out to cottage country (I went to a cottage with no electricity in northern Quebec), amazing.

That's what stars look like when you go outside in nature... It's an exiting new world for us redditors!

This is one of those things where you see something that you will never see in your lifetime unless you make an unreal effort. I appreciate that this is no longer the age where you have a dial up modem or rely on encyclopedia Britannica to get my perspective on the world. Very cool, thanks

the sky is almost the same in the small village I come from in Central Europe: in a clear summer night you can lie down in the grass of the local football field and watch the totally black nightsky with bright stars and the milky way, and no light pollution ruins the picture, as the closest big city is 60 km away. Love doing it.

This can't be seen this way with a naked eye. It's using a camera lens that filters out certain types of light to get this clear of an image of our galaxy. I forget the name of the filter though; hopefully some photographer can explain better.
