[Nyala]

There's one light on in Zim, must be Bobs house.

[jiggs]

Ummm pity the lights are on but there is nobody home.

I miss the stars - when you see how brightly lit the UK is, no wonder there are never any stars to be seen, even on the occassional clear night.

Beautiful. What I find amazing is that how come India is more lit up at night than say Australia?

[kimfromzim]

India's developing so rapidly and has a very dense population. Australia's mostly desert.

looks like the Emirates is all on, even the empty quarter

Accepted, but there aren't that many major cities across the country to make it glow like a beacon. I would expect it to show a pocket of light - a bit like southern Africa where Lesotho/Swaziland seem brighter than the rest of SA.

Unless it's the radiation fall out from all the bombing over Afghanistan.....

[sally]

when i first arrived in the uk after 6 months of living in london one of what i thought was the first clear night i was so impressed to see a star i kept watching it until it flew past my head... thankfully now i can avoid the lights and see the stars should i wish :)

The best place to look at the stars is in the middle of an ocean - I was sailing across the S Atlantic in '86 & could see Halley's Comet quite clearly.
