I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing
