A clear sky is still visible over most of the earth. Its just that people cluster in bright cities, so per-capita, yes most folks don't see one.

I see it every night when I drive in my driveway and get out and look up. Every constellation, the milky way spilled across most of the sky, blue-white Rigel at Orion's foot. A full Moon illuminating the countryside like a floodlight!

Its only a 10-minute drive from town, out there where me and a handful of other people live. I wonder sometimes, if our rural areas are doomed to become a ghost town.
