Living in San Diego, I love having the option of driving out to Anza Borrego to see the stars.
If you haven't seen them in a true "dark sky" setting, I highly recommend it. You'll be shocked how many of them you see and how there are just layers and layers of them everywhere and being able to see the milky way with the naked eye is incredible. I doubt it comes close the so-called "Overview effect" Astronauts talk about when they see the Earth from... not the Earth, but it is still quite powerful and humbling when you're used to looking up and seeing half a dozen stars on a good night.

- _mgr 12y agoThis. Even with the lights on the decks of the cruise ship I was still able to see layers and an expanse of stars I haven't seen since I tramped around the the Nelson Lakes area of New Zealand when I was younger.
- ekianjo 12y agoYeah. That's how you realize why people could navigate at Sea using stars long before we had any GPS or reliable cartography.
