Don't think I've ever seen a legit night sky in person.
I was ready to see the Milkyway in Colorado a few years back but there was wildfire smoke covering the sky the entire time I was there.
I did get to see it just a bit in Arkansas last year(it really wasn't as dark as I'd have liked it). I was doing some long exposures with a camera and my mom says "Wow it's a pretty clear night except for that one cloud..."
Ok I'm probably just being stupid, but can someone tell me why everybody's talking about seeing the milky way? Aren't we part of the milky way? Do you just mean the other stars and stuff?
When you get away from light pollution you can see a lot more stars and a bright line called milky way. We are part of the milky way and you can see the rest of it.
