Reality is I can't lay on my back,and get up any more by myself. Also
light pollution,and dirt in the air has made the atmosphere less
transparent. Here in Florida even a bright Moon looks milky. There are
no $100,000 telescopes in Florida. We do have fire flies,and that begs
the question. If you are in a forest can you be sure its a shooting
star,or a fire fly in your line of view? The dust density in the solar
system is getting less over time. and that is a "fact" Bert
