> Small personal bugbear about images used to illustrate these articles: in the clearest of skies the naked eye can barely see the milky way unless it's a new moon and you're hundreds of miles from any town.
Hundreds of miles from the closest megacity maybe. You could go a couple miles out of a small rural town and see a brilliant milky way.
They don't look anything like those photos with their strange bright blue and yellow skies though of course, or any terrestrial features lit up like daylight like this! It's all pretty black.
