Same. I first saw the Milky Way galaxy during a camping trip back in 2011 in a pretty remote national park up north in Canada. It was beautiful and gave me a sense of just how tiny and insignificant humanity is compared to the galaxy, not even the universe, just the Milky Way galaxy alone.
People don't care about this beauty because they have never seen it. If they experience it once, they'll never forget to turn off outside lights before going to bed.
Im a villager,(im turkish we still have villages) we have a farm in our backyard and our backyard is MASSIVE there are 4 house sizef stuff in it md when you go to the farm,you can see how beatiful it is
I don't know why this gave me chills. I loved it. Maybe it's the natural wonder of a true dark sky. Maybe it's the incredible beauty. Or, maybe you're just a damn good content creator and your production skills hit all the feels. Whatever it is, please never stop. My fav astrophotographer, and it's not even close!
I was once hiking in the mountain during Indian Monsoons (July Aug time ). I came out around 11 pm to pee and looked at the night sky, I could not believe my eyes. There were innumerable stars which we don't see on a regular day. Also there was a patch on the southern sky which looked like a cloud and it took few minutes for me to realize that I was looking at the densest part of milkey way near Sagittarius constellation. That was my 1st time seeing milkey way that clearly.
@@jailedcat4417 you are right.. in image processing or stacking we enhance the appearance. However if the sky is clear (eg: in the mountains) once can make out the cloudy appearance of the Mikey way.
Come to Africa you'll see this everywhere The most stars I've ever seen were in the amboseli national park. I remember looking up and not seeing any dark spots....the entire sky was stars....the denser parts of the milky way were so clearly visible it was amazing.
In 2005 when I was five years old I lived in middle of rural outback Queensland, Australia in a small mining town. My dad took my younger brother and I out to the airport several kilometres out of town to look at stars. Back then it was a lot smaller than it is today, the town was less developed and expanded, far fewer mines with them being much further away from town, and the airport was tiny and shut off all lights at night. We lied down on the gravel of the airport carpark and as I looked up it was the brightest, most detailed and colourful night sky I’ve ever seen till this day. We stayed for a while watching meteors go by. I can remember it clearly till this day. I maybe biased overtime due to memory but the colours I saw I don’t think I’ve seen since just incredibly vivid and vibrant with the galactic dust and gas clearly silhouetted aswell as revealing its transparency. My dad is a hobby astronomer, but very knowledgeable on the sky and would always point out things like stars or planets. When I was 16 we went out to try his new telescope. At this time a lot more mines have popped up encompassing more of the area, with that the town expanded leading to the airport growing drastically. Once only accomodating small propellor passenger planes with small gravel roads and only outside seating areas, to a large airport with a 2-4 acre concrete carpark accomodating Boeing 737s and larger. It operates through the night causing a lot of light pollution. We had no option but to attempt to drive further out of town, we ended up finding a nice recently cleared out area and decided to setup up there. Despite our efforts we could still see the faint glow of the distant mines, it was enough to be noticeable and have an overall effect on the contrast of the night sky. It was a wonderful time anyway the telescope was outstanding; it was just sad to see the fading beauty of it. I haven’t seen a sky as dark as even that night since as I now reside in a city. There’s something very special about being able to experience that view in its entirety, it’s like you can almost touch the stars. We all need that just like feeling and breathing the air. It’s innate to us, it’s part of us.
Beautiful. I’m lucky enough to live in Idaho very close to bortle 2 and about 3 hours from bortle 1. I’m about 6 months into the hobby and you’re a huge contributor to my growth. Thanks for doing what you do Trevor!
We shouldn't have to travel 1,500 miles to see the true night sky. I hope light pollution in cities gets fixed one day. Awesome job bro always inspiring 👏 💯
So you hope humanity loses electricity? I'm okay with this "light pollution" if it means millions of people are able to live in this world. The hell is wrong with you?
I was just thinking about how the night sky looked when I was a kid. We lived by the coast on a body of water called the Mobjack Bay-a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. We had a pier that went out about 100‘ or so into the water, away from the tall pines of the shore. So many nights I would lie on my back at the end of the pier and just marvel at the show. That was a very long time ago and I haven’t seen a night sky like that in long while for sure.
It was great to meet you and Ash at OTSP. And thanks for putting this 'short' together. It really tells the story of OTSP. 'Hope you're thinking about putting together a full-length YT... You're really doing a very positive thing for the hobby! I'm a great fan and admirer. Keep up the great work!!
What a beautifully crafted video! The magic of a really clear night sky must be seen to be appreciated. The best I’ve been to so far was a Bortle 3/4 zone.
Thanks for sharing. I just can't imagine the time, when every single human on this planet was able to see this and even better views. What did they thought? How did everyone from all over the world explained this unbelievably beautiful and mysterious sight to their children? How did the nightsky affect the humans 200 or 200.000 years ago? Imagine seeing events such as supernova. Just mind-blowing.
I have those visualizations of me in my own house in nature looking up to the universe at night before going to bed. This just reminded me of that vision. I am gonna find out how it works out and I am looking forward to building that house!
Going to the Salt Flats this evening in Utah to try out my Canon EOS SL1 w/ the stock lenses, a tripod and a shutter remote to see what I learned from watching your videos and others. You've been the spark in my desire to explore the night sky. Thanks for all your amazing content Trevor!! 🤝
As someone who want to study Astronomy because it's one the most fascinating thing I've ever seen, it's literally one of my dreams to come to a place like this and see the true Night Sky that our ancestors have been able to see every night. I hope that one day, I will be able to go to a place like this and also that light pollution will be reduced.
That's what I saw to in bali yesterday It was nyepi or otherwise known as the silent day. Practically you have to turn of your lights and your electricity
I liven in Dublin and I cannot see one star, not one in our sky. The light pollution is criminal. I've never heard any children ever talk about the sky and what's up there. We are definitely living in the age of forgetfulness. Children are not being taught any real life skills. Skills that were once handed down by families. All that knowledge and interacted with their parents is gone. The world is moving to fast and values that were handed down are no longer handed down. Crazy world, ✌️☘️
The whole country needs to adopt what some cities in Denver are doing, Dimming street lights and aiming them down with huge cover to prevent light pollution!!!
I remember when i was 13 we could see so many stars just like in your video but without the milky way just outside my house. I remember seating around with my friends and family every night. But now I’m an adult u can only see the brightest constellation and planet in the sky 😢. Even now when i close my eyes i could still imagine what i saw back then its sad really😞
120yrs ago I would lay under the stars in Montana flat head lake it was truly magical to see the Milky Way and when the northern lights would mix in it was like a psychedelic experience
The first time I ever saw how the skies at night really looked like was at the age of 13, when I first went to cape verde. An experience I’ll never be able to erase and I haven’t been able to see anything like it since. The amount of shooting stars I was able to admire in such a short time was amazing, the light of so many stars reflecting it was so awe inspiring. Now as an adult, all I want to do is save up money to buy a really pricey telescope and travel around Africa to chase tht feeling again.
I have a 12” Meade optical tube assembly, and an iOptron mount & tripod. I love going to dark sites to view faint deep sky objects. -BUT- I also like to go to Las Vegas occasionally, and see the fantastic lights of the city. I enjoy BOTH!
@@Snailstolemysoul I live in India, particularly Bangalore City..... Here there is too much of reflection in the night 😕 But in rural areas the sky dark but not as clear as this place... That's i am impressed 😅
I wish we had a holiday where for an hour all the big city lights turn off, so we can view the cosmos like we used to before power erased or dimmed their existence from our eyes.
It’s shocking to think that so many people including me feels like it’s fake. When we know it isn’t. Almost the entire world hasn’t seen this sight. It’s shocking to know how small we are compared to the scale of the universe.
You can find Bortle 1 and 2 skies less than 400km from your home. Plan a trip to Manitoulin Island. You won't be disappointed. You can travel by car, take the ferry from Tobermory to South Baymouth and you are there. You can even find Bortle 1 sky on the Bruce Peninsula.
Absolutely amazing. Could you imagine what it would be like on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean at night? If only it could be rock solid. Thanks.
Yup. I've been visiting family in northeastern New Mexico for the last week. Been enjoying some of the darkest skies in the US. Waaay different than where I live in Michigan.
International Dark Sky Association member - your short video shows why.
Where is this??
What?
It’s a organization that try’s to lower the amount the light pollution around the world i think.
Im a member also! Deerlick astronomy village in ga! Lmao
😅❤
The first time I saw a clear night sky with no light pollution, it was shocking. It really was a life-changing moment.
Where was this filmed
Same. I first saw the Milky Way galaxy during a camping trip back in 2011 in a pretty remote national park up north in Canada.
It was beautiful and gave me a sense of just how tiny and insignificant humanity is compared to the galaxy, not even the universe, just the Milky Way galaxy alone.
I saw Orion on my way to school
Same! On a Utah trip, I went with my dad to arches to see the stars
Life... changing??

Have you see it ? Bortle 1? Can you see the milky way?
I care, I would literally pay up to 1000$ dollars to see this beutiful of a night sky (ik it’s not much but it is for me)
hangi il?
I saw it once in South Dakota and it's an experience I'll never forget.
Growing up 70 years ago on a lake in very rural Michigan I saw the night sky like this. I would lay under the stars for hours every Summer.
🤯

Man I want to move somewhere where I can see the night sky every night
Montana here!! Skies like this every night!!
there’s truly a reason they keep the light pollution. this is part of our spirit. this would free to many people.

@@uhlspetznazprime example of humanity’s selflessness at its finest.
Absolutely awesome man. Almost make you want all the lights to go away. I could stare at that night after night
I know a lot of people who never take the time to even look up at night. I can't stop, it is such a wonder.
Amazing video that demonstrated what our ancestors would have seen every night. No wonder they gave us so many stories of the heavens. 🔭❤️
I wish all skies looked like this! I live very close to a city, and sometimes even trying to catch Polaris to polar align is a challenge. Clear skies!
Great meeting you at Okie Tex after watching your videos for so long. Really appreciated your talk on the ASIAIR!
Space just feels so unreal and beautiful. Honestly space is just the most beautiful thing ever
Thanks! For coming out to OTSP… It was a good week! I hope you have a longer video in the works!
There it is true beauty the very sight of that night sky brings tears to my eyes have you ever seen anything more Majestic
