I remember seeing this on the news.  It was some crazy stuff for me to be honest, it was just one of those things that really got my attention.

I was 10 years old then and had no idea what do do with myself lmao

[Muslim]

That would be the loveiest stuff ever. Really.

I was 3 and i lived in florida so i missed it.

Yep this is a thing i rember, Part of my dad's side of the family was in one of the states that was effected by this. Even though I was 5 at the time this is a memory burned in my brain.

Look how beautiful the sky is when our stupid race isn't polluting the stuff out of it with bright lights. :)

[fawkes..]

That's impressive.

our stupid race also went to the moon btw lol

edit:  not trying to pick at you but just sayin' it's only an unfortunate byproduct of what we've done.  it's just as visible out in deep rural areas though, like Maine.

Lol, I didn't literally mean stupid. I'm just a little upset that so much of our technology has so many consequences. :(

Where I live, I can rarely see the stars except during the summer when the school I live down the street from doesn't have their lights on.

Our lights and pollution have ruined earths true beauty.

[Night Fox]

I agree with the message you're sending, but that isn't earth's beauty
in fact, an abandoned human settlement where natural reclamation hasn't even started yet is about the opposite of earth's beauty

[Choi]

That's space's beauty, not Earth's
