... H A friend of mine was telling me it never gets pitch black in florida, US at night, is it true, and if it is, any details to the reason? thanx, Asger Nope, Asger, not true... Florida has many towns, cities and industrial areas that, just like in other states, add to "light pollution" and keep the night sky from getting "pitch black." And yet there are still lots of places to go out away from the above hot spots where you can find total darkness on a night when the Moon isn't above the horizon. You can easily see the Milky Way stretching across the sky, and the dimmest stars pop out at you right along with the bright ones! Nope, in Fla. the main problem is not finding darkness. In Fla. the problems are mosquitos, snakes, gators 'n such! happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Cut like a knife, Flake like an axe, Break out the sax, Get you a life! Paine Ellsworth |
