Apparently during the Northridge quake, all of Las Angeles lost its lights. The sky was darker then it had been in decades. During this time the Griffith Observatory was flooded with calls about the strange lights in the sky. Eventually the astronomers figured out what the people were calling about, as their instruments did not find anything unusual. Brace yourself.... The strange lights in the night sky?... Stars. The people of L.A. Had never seen them due to the light pollution!!!... That is a bit scary, and I am glad I have lived outside of light pollution most my life!

I remember the first time my kids saw the milky way, it was amazing to hear the amazment in their voices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw a cartoon of a L.A. family on a trip outside in the country and the lady grabbing one of her fainted children and holding them down by the exhaust pipe of the car to revive him...

I doubt very much that there are people (with IQs above single digits) who don't know what stars are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
