    This man can help, by getting you here.

    I saw the ISS last night - there are web sites that tell you when it will be visible at your location and for how long. Last night it was only visible for a minute and looked much as a far off plane, i.e. bright in the sky and moving fairly rapidly. Covering perhaps 30 degrees of arc in that minute before fizzling out as it went in to Earth's shadow.

      Lets turn all the street lights off and encourage accidents and burglaries.

      Personally if I wanted less light pollution I would move to the country.

        North Korea has very little light pollution and a low carbon footprint. Sets a worthy example.
        I'm alright Jack

          Half of the UK's population cannot see many stars because the night skies are still "saturated" with light pollution, campaigners have warned.
          Yes that's right, you'll see feck all from a neon megatropolis. News??
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              That should make the nuclear weapons rests easier to spot.

                  Somehow I think the dear leader has as many friends as I have. Many in his own mind.
