A Colorado Town Goes Dark To Let The Milky Way Shine Bright | TODAY
We need the whole country to do this once a year
Tony Pepperoni Absolutely, Tony’roni!!!
Google “Earthhour” also look up the “International dark sky association” I believe it is darksky.org That will give you some information on what you can do to help with light pollution. :)
Tony Pepperoni but imagine all the crimes that could be committed once the lights are off
Practically, I don't think that's a good idea. It's actually a terrible idea.
That's uh a very bad idea lol
It makes me mad that this is happening right above my head every night and I can't see it
it's called by idiots progress they light the way for intruders
Same
Make to the country then
preachersdtr1 I live in Tennessee!!
Agreed man. I live in New York and I wish I could see this...
it feels better to stare at the sky instead of the computer or phone screen
indeed :)
🍺🍻
there's just so many light pollution,so we couldn't see it😔😔😔😐😐😐😐😑😑😑
Same
or be there
I actually did witness the milky way one time in my life. I was so dark outside for whatever reason and look up and notice that one of the "clouds" were light dimmed and realized what I saw was the milky way galaxy. Great sight to see. If you ever get a chance to see it in the sky, take a moment and just take it in.
That's what I thought at first too. You better take another look, unless you've got a weak heart, and think it over. I've realized through careful observations, that it's actually "The Great Rift:", a crack in the Firmament, not a galaxy. Closer examination and studying it's movements across earth will change your mind and life.
:)
I mistaken the milky for clouds once
When I was younger and we were camping I saw it it was amazing
I saw it very dim once, I had to get my phone and get my star app to realize it was the milky way
Freaking hate big cities because of that light
+Eziekle Crafts What are you talking about?
Bryson Fetters Another crazy conspiracy theorist
Tbh, when its cloudy I like light pollution because that orange glow is kind of pretty, but when it's clear out, I hate it
@Eziekle Crafts what?
@ I know what he means you just may have never seen it
I see this every night when Im home on the Navajo Reservation. Absolutely no lights on the Reservation.
I know first time I really saw the milky way was Monument Valley Spectacular!
Platero Begay Truly, the Beautiful Way. "A little bit of Heaven, right here on Earth." Thank you, sir. I hope to be able to visit your Nation, before I die.
Platero Begay wow what a great thing to see. I’ll bet you see other things such as our cosmic cohabitants don’t you? They may be the answer to our salvation I think. It will be difficult to defeat the destroyers without their assistance ...!
It looks EXACTLY like that?
So envious..
I went to Colorado and I saw the sky it was amazing.
I Am Prometheus liar
nickiminajsflaps are u joking
Is it really that bright?
Lucky
I'm actually a little bit jealous
This is it. UA-cam has become a TV.
Anderhils thats exactly what it was meant to be
Why do you think its the exact same concpt?
Sections of providers are called “Channels”
Who gain miney from advertisements that want viewership from the videos that they provide
its free and millions of choices to watch
freaking 30 second ads
Rainbow Paws It wasn’t always like this. I’ve been here since the beginning, and in the early days it was to allow regular people like you and I to host content online for free. There was no advertisements then. It was about empowering the user, something people take for granted nowadays.
I watch youtube on my TV
Inspiring story. The whole town gets involved to stop the waste of light pollution and help kids connect to the stars. :)
stop the waste of light pollution? you those lights are meant for something? you know LIGHT?
No doubt!! Once a week or month...wouldn't hurt ANYONE!!! ❤❤
@@edofluit6568 mate are you gonna start crying if the lights turn off
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz102 what if the dude is night blind
And can't see below or dimmer than full moonlight clear sky
Or he has the fear of dark
Or he just doesn't like the idea.
@@maryann2628 to be fair, he just seems angry
This is why Constellations we're so useful before and more used hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
I like to imagine the sailors that were exploring the ocean during the discovery era, in the 16th century, without electricity and so many artificial lights, how beautiful the sky must've been for them, a calm sea at night with the ocean breeze and the night sky on its full glory over their heads, that must've been a dream to experience!
You better believe it was honey.
I was there. Did multiple cross oceanic trips during the 18th century and it was a truly astonishing sight to behold.
i want to see that with my own eyes
same
yeah R.I.P
@@giammy0 thank you
It would be really great if more cities could hood their lights or cut back on them altogether. There are so many street lights, especially on the freeways, that we could get rid of half of them and still have enough light. Seriously, do we really need a street light every couple hundred feet? Getting rid of every other one could help alittle.
Exactly what i was thinking .
Yes we do need them.
yes so i could rob easier
No, there not gna shut off NYC lights for that. People would end up dying no joke.
The key here is to remember that we need the light on the ground, not in your eyes or in the sky!
more cities should do this. once every season so you can see how the sky changes as we orbit.
The earth doesn’t orbit it stands still the moon and sun rotate around the earth
Liz Beth your stupid right?
@@lizbeth8893 I think you failed astronomy class, the earth takes a year to rotate around the sun meanwhile is rotating on it's own axis which is why you see day and night
@@lizbeth8893 we can see our home galaxy from within, the milky way and people are still claiming earth is flat and space doesn't exist 😂
@@lizbeth8893 Bait is way too obvious.
Imagine seeing both this clear magnificent Milky Way, and the dancing northern lights. Def some benefits to living in middle of nowhere Canada :)
Omg!! I'm so jealous! That has to be breathtaking....❤😔
Which state? (or region)
Bro almost all Canadians live in suburban areas or 100km from us boarder

HaHaHa... "from US _boarder"???_ God what a maroon!
Foghorn Leghorn: "I say I say, that boy's so dumb he thinks the Mexican border pays rent"!!
I grew up on a farm in the country and I looked at the sky all the time, now I live in a big city downtown no less and when I'm here I see nothing but every time I go home it's a shock to see the sky again and makes me happy and incredibly sad
This is only a village. Waiting for this in cities.
It's never going to happen in cities. Hospital, Industry, Business, Logistics etc... is 24/7/365.
90% of light pollution is due to the way of enlighting not the fact to put a light !
Totally agree but just one thing : light pollution is considered like the first environnemental pollution in the cities before air pollution ! And nearly nobody knows and consider that !!!
Noah S. I think people think there's nothing we can do about the situation; but there IS. Some of the changes are so simple to accomplish! If you Google "light pollution" (or Bing it), there's a LOT of info resources to explore, to learn what we CAN do. You may be very surprised at how simple some of the solutions are, and energy saving, as well. Read Paul Bogard's non-fiction book, "The End of Night." It's a very interesting and informative read.
Fab Del TRUE! Thank you for that!
Years ago they used to (maybe they still do) turn off all the lights on cruise ships in the middle of the ocean to get the same effect. You have to get far away from the things of man to see some of the things of God.
True
I agree with you totally...
Well said
God doesn't exist. It's a Jewish creation. Juno created the Milky Way.
@@googlebarbaralernerspectre2581 big bang
I don't know why everywhere doesn't do this once a week...the sheer amount of kids this would inspire to become scientists and astronomers, the future would be full of Elon Musks...
Select Obvi, the night's sky can inspire kids to become astronomers. lol...not astrologists!
Yeah, already done it.
I’m 11 and in love with space.
astrologists eh? an astrological scientologist? *shudder*
We dont need more astrologists. Their predictions are never right because its all just guesswork and tarot cards and crystal balls.
fakiirification Far from it my friend
One of my greatest memories of being stationed at Ft Carson is lying on my back, on a "cold" tank range at night, just looking at this. 6,000 feet up. No lights in the desert. Seeing the infinite.
Tucson should do this. They don't have any street lights because of the local observatory. But it was so hard to drive at night! Having the lights pointing down is genius. I wish they did this everywhere.
Jenn Hoff ME TOO!!!
I saw it in Mexico my grandparents live in a ranch and it was very dark at night and I looked up and saw it, it was beautiful
belly tripper I think you've just answered the question, "How dumb can you get?" Don't measure other people's corn by your half-bushel. You probably don't know what THAT means, either. Lay offa the pipe. Your brain needs more oxygen.
Bro you killed him
I went camping out in the mountains and got up at 3am to see the sky, and it was just amazing to see. It really is amazing. So many stars, and seeing the streak of the Milky Way really is something special.
Hi I want to ask can you see it with your normal eyes ???
@@Iraishanarain obviously you can
I still cannot forget that one night!
Me and my friends are just hanging out, we went to the hill just near our houses (we're actually neighbors) and then we lie down and talk about funny things and stuff, and then one of my friends notice the stars, so may stars in like one collumn, and then we realise it was the Milky way, we took lile many pictures and have fun stairing at it!
That happened 3 years ago and that's the first and last time I saw a Milky way on person. That is surely the BEST night ever happened to me!!!!
Im sure it was your first in few times. It's so hard to see nowadays
i am getting chills, i want to see it so bad
You have any picture? Wish to see it..
I remember back in 1996 while on board the USS Dubuque as a Marine, and one night I was guarding the boat deck doors while flight ops was happening. When the helicopter took off and waited for the "all clear" to sound so I can get back to bed, I looked up at the night sky and saw exactly what you see in the video, maybe even more so. Out in the middle of the pitch black pacific ocean, no lights at all save for the dull red blinking light at the top of the mast. Which didn't effect anything. I was simply mesmerized by the experience. Having lived near a large city (Atlanta) all my life, and only being able to see just a few bright stars. That night however, I was able to see the Milky Way and the whole sky just filled with stars was absolutely amazing. A few minutes later, they sounded the "all clear", but I didn't care I stayed there to stare up at the stars for a while longer.
It was beautiful to see, however you can it will be worth it. Trust me.
It's so astonishing to see it's scary
awesome
Joanie Adams That it is, Joanie! ...a wonderful kind of scary, but yeah, as an adult I felt like I was falling into the sky! But it's so incredible, it's hard to tell people about all the things it makes you start thinking about, wondering about, and sometimes understanding. I miss all of that, so much. I think I need to look up that "Dark Sky Association" and volunteer in some capacity. It would be worthwhile, I think. I miss the astounding night sky, very much!
Nathan Taylor Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It IS a mesmerizing sight, very humbling, yet exhilarating, too.
I saw this on an Idaho river rafting trip, and it was beautiful
I kind of take it for granted growing up in Idaho, now on the south western Boise part. You don't have to go very far from any of our cities or towns to see the the Milky Way and all the stars. Indian Springs a small camping pool resort, we had a scouts camping trip and dutch oven breakfast the next morning, that night I remember just laying in the field looking up for hours.
So many other close locations throughout the state, around Lava Hot Springs, Downata Hot Springs, near various small towns like Malad, Inkom, Idaho City, Cascade, Sun Valley or any mountains anywhere in the state.
Was it this bright and clear or do the cameras just enhance it?
None None so most times during Milky Way photos, they use long exposure to get the most light inside the shutter by keeping it open for a long time, maybe like 20-30 seconds. But it’s still VERY visible with your own eyes.
This is on my bucket list
The milky way is absolutely breathtaking, while at sea while I was I the Navy we got to see it almost nightly and on a trip to the grand canyon there it was again. It's really one of the most awesome sites I've ever seen
I want to go that place in Colorado
I remembered the first time I saw the milky way galaxy. It was on an overnight hiking trip at Lake Tahoe. It was an awe-inspiring moment for me.
I like that idea of covered outdoor lights.
If your in southern California will never see this sadly :(
magguette09 ye I've been to big bear dozens of times and sadly didn't see this magic
The shot from Lake Tahoe is on the cover of TIME magazine, early morning sunrise, look east.
Fulton, You can start a movement to restore starlight in your community. Yes. You. Can. The technology is now available and affordable to provide excellent lighting without destroying the night sky. PC Amber or 2200K LED fixtures, full-cut off, dimming capability with motion or heat activation after-hours where appropriate. And... it will save taxpayers a LOT OF $$ because you are reducing waste. Contact International Dark-Sky Association. They can help. You can also reach me through them.
Fulton Creed i feel ur pain.. i live by Disneyland
Fulton Creed You won’t see this anywhere. It doesn’t look like that to the naked eye. It is enhanced by the camera.
No one:
Literally no one:
Colorado: Bravo six, going dark
*Night Vision sound PEEEWWWWW!!**
This is honestly one of my dreams to make happen in this lifetime. This is great to know ...wow
Amazing ty for the vid!
I couldn't be more proud of this great gentleman.
When I go to the farm where my mom is at in Nebraska, at night I enjoy night sky watching like seeing the Constellations, meteors, milky way and more
This is sooooo cool!!! I wish every town would do this
I finally got to see a whole sky of stars. Such a beautiful sight! I felt so in love with the universe
Just once in my lifetime, I would love to spend a night watching this. ❤ Talk about being at one with the universe! ❤ Humbling.
Wow! Gosh that's a dream come true for me. Here in Philippines, i couldn't see those marvelous twinkling stars😰
My dream is to see this I love this it makes me think of awear galaxy
This can help you:

Wow makes chills.
Shenandoah Pennsylvannia,
Every morning at 3 am.
It was amazing.
Our marvellous galaxy :)
Not quite, it's God's marvelous Dome," the Firmament" you're under it.
Juno created the Milky Way.
@@crazyguy313youtubify god doesnt exist, get over it
@CL Melonshark Yuh, what what?
Finally a video that's worth watching!😊
I still remember as a child very young boy watching the Milky Way galaxy almost every night clear sky in East Africa ...... especially one night I saw a huge bright light in the sky somewhere in our galaxy and I wish I knew what it was!!!
Where I live I can only see a few stars. I always wanted to see the milky way for my self. lay down in soft dry grass, and look at the sky. such beauty.
Its amazing and crazy that most people wont ever see it with their own eyes. Its so Beautiful. When i was a kid in the 90's i allways looked at the sky when it was dark(im from Greenland) when i went to live in denmark. I told my New classmates about the stars and hos many there are. They said i was crazy an there was Nothing out there. I swor to them that there are many stars and Dared them to go out when it was dark like midnight. I also went out at midnight. It was sad cause there where almost no stars in the sky. I found out that lights from houses and Streetlights blocks the stars so you cant see them that much. I was sad that most of my friends wouldent ever exsperience the amazing night sky. I went to norway with my gf when i was 23-24 or so an we both saw the amazing night sky. I had ofc told her about the stars. When we saw it toghter, she took my hand while we looked up at the Beauty. And an whispered "im sorry you were right its impossible to explain how Beautiful it is" we looked at it for hours. Good times
There should be an international or national event where we just turn off the city lights and prepare some candles and admire the beautiful night sky
Back in my country the lights goes out sometimes and you can see the stars shine bright and i love it
Isn’t it fascinating to just look and those stars at night while calmly laying down while the river flows, and think that there might be someone, somewhere there doing the same, aaah i wish i could see this once.
Just watching a video of it
Makes me wanna cry
If i see this in person
Im pretty sure im gonna fall to the ground balling
Is that because it makes you realize there really is a God who created it all?
@@crazyguy313youtubify not everyone believes in your myths; Nature on its own has enough to look at, reflect upon and be humbled by, without the need of involving religion.
@@punkiller666 The reality of 666 is that it's the mark of the Beast, an evil poitical and religious structure kf Satan's world govt.The myths you mention are mostly in the Propagandae you were spoon fed as a child, including that spinnable ball they called the earth. You would be more than humbled by God's loving nature and character, not just in the natural balance of the creation. The Bible and his Holy Spirit continually reveals secrets of living as we grow older and wiser, his knowledge and wisdom seeming to be endless, the more we learn.
@@crazyguy313youtubify stop
IF YOU COME TO CHRIST YOU WILL see it, pass through it. If you DONT meet Christ, you really WILL BE CRYING when you get dragged under.
I think 25% of the world's light pollution is coming from my paranoid neighbor's house. I've NEVER seen so much lighting in my life, and I mean UGLY lighting, flood lights on ALL SIDES of the house, glaring down the bluff out back, down his driveway and into the neighbor's driveway across the street, lighting up our entire house... yes, it's that bright. We don't have any laws here regarding light pollution, sadly, and it's horrible to look at.
Contact the International Dark-Sky Association. They have a hand out sheet that will help you talk to your neighbor. Good luck!
did u ever think it might be you
I am from india and we used to have this sort of scenery every night, back in late 90s. i was 5-7 year old and back then we didnt had 24 h electricity so small village like mine which is almost 300 km far away from major city would have no light pollution and we would have this exact same view. Now we have all the access to electricity but magical views in sky are gone.
I've only seen the milky way once, when I was a kid. That was decades ago. Now it's so hard to find a place without light pollution...
I live in Hawaii, and I used to have light pollution from the summit of Kīlauea, but now since the lava lake is gone, I have clear nights. At least something positive came out of this. However I deeply miss being able to over look the lava lake and go hiking in the National Park. Just trying to stay positive
Clos MasMas were you able to truly see the milky way? the colorful night sky or were the videos shown were just exposure from cameras?
@@nou257 The colors? Yes.
But the milky way would still look good
It would look like a big grey thing in the sky and you can see some detail of the milky way
Depends of your natural night vision
If you don't or barely have it you can't see it.
If you have low then you can barely see it.
If you have average then its like what i said in the top of comment.
If you have good night vision
Then you can see almost every detail and see barely any color.
It is not like the camera but beautiful.
In Africa we even see Andromeda by a naked eye
. . . this footage of it is even near a city, and it looks way more spectacular than what I can see out in the country.
I moved to Denver a couple months ago and I cant wait to go to westcliffe
i live right outside of Allentown PA so sadly i can’t see most stars at night. i’ve always wanted to go somewhere dark enough to see every star, but can’t ever find a place dark enough.
lenny Go to Cherry Springs State Park in central PA. Probably like an hour or two drive from you. One of the best stargazing spots in the world apparently.
Look for: "light pollution map" you'll see where to go 😉 you're welcome!
I go to places in Arizona. Outside of phoenix there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to block your view. No clouds, haze, light. Sometimes if you are in a good spot the milky way is so bright that one has a shadow cast from its light.
Cherry springs state park in northern pa is where you want to go. Go to their website. They have star gazing parties right in your state. Darkest spot on eastcoast
On my bucket list. And grand canyon
Wish to see it one day ❤️❤️❤️
If you make it to heaven, (haven, Rakia, Firmament) you will pass through that big crack in it. No, really. Others have, and came back to tell the story,. like Henry Gruber. Look him up on the tube./
@@crazyguy313youtubify There's actually another type of pollution. It's people like you, polluting the comments section of these actually interesting videos.
@@crazyguy313youtubify bruh its not religion bruh u can see it on earth without dying just stay zway from citys and lights go 3 hours driving outside the city
@@eddieteddy273 You can look at the "milky way" with two mental images in mind. You can imagine seeing a ball of stars surrounded by spokes of stars. Or you can look hard and close at it on Nat Geo's "Night Sky", and in all the time lapse videos in youtube, and how it moves, and you may start thinking, (as I did) this thing looks like a crack in the sky. How could that be? HOW can it move the way it does? THAT doesnt make any SENSE. HOW can it move that way?
So I started thinking "whut if it is a crack?" and looked VERRY closely at it, and how it moves. You'll come to know that there is no such thing as a "solar system" as you were taught. You 'll figure that out if you want to know the truth.
AND did you know? The ancients before Adam and Eve, called that the "Great Rift?" meaning a RIP, and they knew it was a rip in the sky dome, or Firmament, or Rakia--"a transparent dome, made of metal, hammered out thin". That's from Hebrew translations, not the Greek. Forget Greek, the Bible was written in Hebrew, and misinterpreted by the pagans.
The ancients didnt use space craft, they were told that by God and "knew it". 2,000 years later Adam and Eve were created after the world was flooded for the sinfulness of Satan. His world was washed away. But we found the evidence in Gobekli Tepe, that the astronomical map was the same then as it is now. And they called it the Great Rift, the place where departed souls enter heaven (IF they enter heaven). And it just so happens to reflect prophecies of when ISRAEL is going to be incinerated in war, and the saints enter heaven at the Rapture, or The Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God. Then the final 7 years tribulation starts, with the antichrist in power, and THAN Yashua (Jesus) comes to set up his kingdom on earth, the kingdom comes.
You live in the very generation to see that happen, as told by Christ, "the generation to see Israel 'return' as a nation will be the one to see my return". This is saying that HE is coming back (after his murder), but before the return, the Jews will be removed from Israel, but then return to it, as a nation, the capitol in Jerusalem, when WWIII breaks out, Rapture happens, for 7 years, the antichrist takes over, then Jesus comes. that's the layout.
His earnest warning is "Dont take the mark of the antichrist, you will NOT enter heaven if you betray God that way. "
@@crazyguy313youtubify bro what are you saying were talking about milky way and im a christian and its wring to judge me bro you cant see it on the city thats called 'light pollution' and i still go to heaven if i have faith in the lord repend and pray you cant judge where will i bie
I Like it, it is a positive thing, by using the word dark, excellent, yes to have connections to the sky. Beautiful. 🤗
This makes my heart so happy.
I USED TO LIVED IN BOULDER, COLORADO. FOR 9 YEARS, WHERE I WERE THERE I SAW TWO STOOTING STAR AT DIFFERENCE TIME. I LOVE THE STARS. THE MILKY WAY IS FANTASTIC, I NEVER THE MILKY WAY YET. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE IT IN COLORADO. THAT IS MY AGENDA PERIOD.
OK!
VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR. I ONCE SAW THE MILKY WAY WHILST HIKING THROUGH MOUNTAIN. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. I WANT TO VISIT COLORADO SOMEDAY, IT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT PLACE.
I want some of whatever your smoking
Anani Mhi So you live in a shill town that had a hoax killing cool
How high are you?
This needs to be a federal law.
Its amazing what that town has done.....i literally have to drive 2hrs just to get a glimpse of the sky like that....
How wonderful! I miss the dark skies since my move.

living in chicago, i have never seen a full night sky. oh im 25 yrs old...
Yeah maybe go mountain hiking or visit Norway, Netherland etc...
Im sure you will see this kind of thing clearly
@@ViperDivinity Netherlands? where in the netherlands should i go? i live here and i want to see it.
During the recovery of hurricane Micheal you could see everything. Without the street lights and everything you could see every star and the moon was brighter than ever. It truly was amazing besides the fact that I didn't know if my friends and family were okay. It took my mind off of the traumatizing event that had happened.
Its on my bucket list to see the milky way from earth just like this. The aurora, Mt Everest, and a few other things.
All this Because of Thomas Edison 😂😂🤣....Today we miss those Beautiful Night scapes 😭😍
This is Gorgeous! I want to live in a place like this.
I literally moved to a brand new neighborhood which doesn’t have much around for a km, I didn’t even know this but I looked out my window and it was SOO BEAUTIFUL 🤯 Like OMG!
I've always wanted to see the sky from the desert. No light pollution.
Look at God's amazing artwork🙏♥️💯‼
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork - Psalm 19:1
Scott Dunn Amen!
aww. that’s beautiful
I was in the mountains where there were the no lights and I saw the milky way and it was beautiful.
why make such a big deal about it yet only mention the towns name just once during your entire video.
I love America😉😍
Anime Life -Dragon Ball And Naruto This has nothing to do with America. Except for the fact it was recorded in a American town
Oh, thanks god for giving America a beautiful sky like that! Kappa Are you serious dude?!!! We're talking about stars! The same starts that everyone see around the world and you're saying: I love America!!??
I'm guessing that guy doesn't really understand English, except for simple phrases like "I Love America" and the F word
Not everybody can see the same stars though, us at the northern hemisphere will never see anything that the folks over at the southern hemisphere have without going there.
That being said, it would be amazing if this was done everywhere, amateur astronomers would love it if this was done everywhere in the planet.
Theophile Matthias Louison What do YOU care? Why are you jumping on this little guy for exercizing his freedom of speech? How does that threaten YOU so much that you ridicule him for saying what he feels? I'm curious.
when i was a boy we used to got out at night in our backyard and you could see the milky way like this. we also had northern lights a 20-30 times a year, so much we were used to them.
now a days i go out i cant even see mars and saturn.
One time me and my dad were driving in The desert and I saw the stars with no light pollution it’s something I’ll never forget
Go to Borrego Springs in NE San Diego County and you will see the Giant night sky and the Milky Way. Borrego Springs was designated as California's first International Dark-Sky Community by the International Dark-Sky Association.
Thank you for that information! That's wonderful to know. Thank you!
Dude I wish I could do this once before I die :(
WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL PASS STRAIGHT THRU it, on your way to Heaven, (haven, Rakia, Firmament of Gen 1), if you go to God in repentence now. YOU WILL know eternal life, and pass right through the Rift at death. Heaven's right on the other side. What you WONT believe is that it's only around 5,000 miles away. Now it' gets sticky.
Garland Parks stop polluting the comments with all that Bible crap, not everyone is Christian you force converting missionary.
I've seen the milky way only once years ago while on a camping trip.
Would love to see it again
Northern Minnesota is just absolutely gorgeous with the stars
(Isaiah 40:26) 26 “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing.".
So envious of your huge country not many places in the UK where you can see such an expanse of God’s blackboard.
marie bevan Prove that God is responsible for the stars, oh you can't, too bad. Use your brain, you can't prove an imaginary sky man exists.
How sad is this. We have a year round light show and we're missing it all in the pollution. I'll never forget going to CO and staying at a camp ground with the family and looking up at the night sky and seeing so many stars it was hard to find a patch of black sky the size of a pea.
I grew up in a small town in Iowa roughly 30 miles away from a city. I now live in the DC suburbs...
I miss the night skies
ATLANTA NEEDS TO DO THIS!
Lol jk that's impossible
Everything is possible with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and God Almighty.
I saw the night sky like this one time and it was the best hour of my life. It was the only time I felt deeply glad to be alive.
awesome we all need this
Is it not ODD? If you've believed the "solar system" drawings, you must accept and believe the earth goes around the sun once in 24 hours If you watch the time lapse videos of the "Milky Way", it travels across the sky from the northeast to the southwest, circling around earth,coming back again to the east horizon in the morning. Since the sun & Milky Way appears in the morning together, they should remain together all day, but in 3 hours time, Milky Way is in the south, so it clearly looks like earth has moved in between the sun and milky way.
Common sense will tell you that there's no way that a small, minute turn of earth can create this massive a change in the sky's appearance. So then what would do this?
ONLY if the earth is flat and the sun is under a rotating dome with a crack in the dome. I know you'll say "but the earth-etc etc" I know what we've all been taught, I believed it too.
Dont accuse ME of stupid, the ancient explorers drew a map of the 33 other continents just beyond the "bio-dome", they found more land, freezing weather--not to worry, we dont fall off. And there's likely another dome covering ours.The "cosmos" belong in the catalogue of God's creations, and are"proof of his handiwork"(Psal 19). in truth.
Garland Parks please tell me your joking please
So you think My "dome''s got a crack in it, eh? God warned his people that in the end times he will send a grand delusion so strong that even his people (Judeo-Christians) would be deceived if possible. The Books of Enoch have been removed from our sight to hide these facts, but Ezekial, Moses, Job, John (Revelations 15), and other major prophets, incl Jesus (the Son) aren't joking when they speak of these things. You can figure out that all the continents were once attached before the great split. There's so much more, and a lot of Good News attached to the bad.
. The Bible says the stars are attached inside the dome, and the greater luminaries, the sun & moon rotate above us, inside the dome. Study the explorers,esp Admiral Richard Byrd's proofs that we 're covered by a dome, with more land masses outside of Antarctica. 6000 years of naval explorers producing maps that show 32 continents outside the dome cant all be wrong. And nobody can guess how far it goes beyond that, or how many more domes covering other"worlds" exist. All we know is that Yeshua (Jesus) is our Messiah, and this is HIS dome, and he's coming to take it over real soon. It's made of glass panels attached to grids. I do believe I've seen the grids. Get your mind boggled. Dare to watch the flat earth videos. God is real.
people like you are holding the entire world back with your ancient thinking kindly do something useful with your life and dont breed
I obviously havent held you back from thinking what you believe.In the past 7,000 years, the continents and the dome split and slid apart, the continents were covered by water and then ice. Most of it thawed. God says 'I never change, never will" although we can change what he DOES with some simple, sincere prayer. Adm Byrd photographed a wall of ice 1500 m.high, surrounding our continents, and discovered there are more continents outside of that rim of ice we call Antarctica. You've no doubt heard America's song Ventura Highway, whc describes the world outside of the world you know, because they (and many others) went there and saw it. It's covered by a dome, and outside of that is more ice where no suns melt it, and the land goes on indefinitely. Start looking at Flat Earth vids and dont stop until you understand everything. THEN decide who's wrong.
