    I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.

    Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.

    I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.

    I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
