Of course, these should be viewed as work of art and not as realistic depictions (which they certainly are not).

I'd actually love to see realistic depictions - matching correct starscape in "lights out" visibility over darkened cities?

Well, I hope you don't really think that's how the sky would be seen. The human eyes are too weak to perceive all these stars.

This isn't intended to be scientific, it is purely about imagination and looking at something beautiful.

These were taken by Thierry Cohen, I don't know the specifics of his process. http://thierrycohen.com/pages/work/starlights.html

This is why I love camping.

I went camping at Yellowstone last year and I stargazed for hours. I'm from urban New Jersey so I had no idea the stars were so beautiful.

I would love to see a global black out for a few hours. Just so people could look up and talk to each other.

I WOULD have agreed, but then I realized all the medical equipment keeping people alive would be shut off. Soooo, i'll pass.

This is part of why I to smoke cigarettes. If you're on a cig break with someone, you'll just sit down and have a good conversation.

Everyone would just panic. That's it.

Not really. I was in NYC for the black out of 2003. People reacted rather well.

That's because New Yorkers are just by nature really awesome people.

11 years is a huge difference. Think about how much more we depend on our electronics.
