When you go out west here in Oz, in the winter during the dry months, the sky is amazing. It's so clear that you can see satellites moving across the sky, and not just the odd one. It is one of the things I will always love about this country, although I suppose you would get the same effect in sparsely populated areas all over the world, so it's not just us, but still, I think it's something pretty special to be laying on your back in the middle of the desert, looking up into space through a sky so vast. It's humbling.
I would have put all this in my previous post, but I was on my phone.
