Some places are always cloudy, others clear; some have light pollution, others none. Whenever I can see the Milky Way, I feel so small and insignificant in the universe, dwarfed by the awesome power of the elements.
What impact could the night sky have on the general philosophical trend of a city or area? Do people who live where they are unable to see the stars view the world differently from those who see them nightly?
