Many cities are putting in street lamps that reduce light pollution so I don’t think this will be true. They may have issues taking good photos of celestial objects if we keep putting up LEO satellite constellations like StarLink though.
There are still better places for observation…
The majority of children born today are born in densely populated - and highly polluted - cities where they can’t see the stars, and are unlikely to ever have enough disposable income to travel for pleasure. The thesis holds.
The thesis holds.
no, it does not. for most people that good observation area is in a range of 200-300 km, that can be walked on your feet, if you can’t afford public transport. It is definitely not as convenient as being able to observe from your own backyard, but hardly impossible.
When was the last time you walked 20kms let alone 200
how is that relevant? is there any answer that would result in conclusion “no, it is not possible”?
You’re arguing like You’re 13. I don’t have the patience for a conversation with you
so i understand you don’t know the answer. ok then, tuck your tail and run, clown 😂
I’ve never seen the milky way and I’m already in my 50s.
I gotchya fam
Edit:
That’s honestly saddening.
I’m In my 30s but live in a small town and we go 60kms in one direction and you can see the milkyway and millions of stars.
Go 1200kms and it gets breathtaking in the desert of Australia
It’s even more beautiful than I imagined!
I didn’t know you can see Milky Way. I saw some photos online that I thought are just made up artworks for quite a long time
We are in it, at the edge, so any face on views where you can see the spiral are artists’ impressions, but you can see it side on, more so in the southern hemisphere without light pollution, as a line of stars across the sky.
We’re about two thirds the way out on one of the arms. We aren’t at the edge.
Ok fine, not quite at the edge, but towards the edge. We’re not at the centre, for sure.
we are in it, but we can see the narrow profile of the galactic disk in the sky.

Yes but what happens if the stars start blinking for us?
All humans with the gift of sight see the Milky Way
in this case - technically correct is not the best kind of correct…
