    I live in the city, so I never see stars anyway. I say bring on the Blade Runner vibes!

    EDIT: Sorry if I offended anyone with a little joke. I’ll stop trying to be funny.

      They should project the night sky into city skies. As long as it doesn’t add significantly to light pollution, I wouldn’t be suprised if that would be good for people’s mental health

        Or we could introduce more strict light pollution laws instead. Big Island has some of the most beautiful night skies and it’s because they basically have to mandate using sodium lights to keep the light pollution super low for the telescopes on Mauna Kea.

          The fact that cities are continuing to buy white streetlights that have intense green spectrum emissions despite light-pollution being a widespread and well-known issue, is beyond me. Even if you’re going for the energy efficiency of LEDs over the monochromatic sodium lights, it is not cost prohibitive to slightly adjust the spectrum. Instead we have stupidly bright lights high in green light that blow out night vision, that then break and turn purple. It pisses me off to no end.

        i mean we could also just institute light pollution measures like many places worldwide already have, but i guess that’s not as cool
