Interesting. I read that comic strip when I was a kid. That is the one
that predicted wrist phones. The movie palace above had some stars
show up to promote their movies. Roy Rogers and Trigger being two back
in the 1940s.

And they're so busy looking at them that they don't even see all those

Light pollution blocks lots of stars from being seen.

Saw a report on a big city a few years ago, I think it was NYC, when
they had a massive power failure. People living there were astounded
at the stars.

When I moved here in '69, I arrived at my new home well after dark on
a chilly April night.  On the road since 8:00 AM, Horace -- a friend,
long time city resident, along as a switch-off driver -- and I
clambered out of the pickup cab to stretch.  His first and memorable
words on my new Nova Scotia homestead?  "Look at all the stars,
Spencer!  Look at all the fuckin' stars!!"

But even here, in a rather darkish spot as seen on images of global
light pollution, our nearest neighbor has, a couple of decades ago,
opted for an always-on sodium vapor street light in his dooryard.  Ho
hum.

Nice. Seen the stars the years before I moved to $BIG_CITY in the 70s.

They're nasty. Before switching to LED there was a streetlight in front
of my windows. They don't just die when broken. They go on and off, and
on and off... First couple of nights I was too lazy to close the
curtains. Could barely sleep. Took a few days after I emailed the city to
have it replaced.

It was only a few years ago that high-power LED fixtures were showing
a similar failure mode.  I haven't seen that for a couple of years
though - LED fixtures of all sorts seem to still be improving.

The problem I'm seeing more and more is mis-aimed fixtures.  I'm
about to write the city about a couple of private parking lots
where LED fixtures are sending out intense beams horizontally,
blinding passersby.  Mind you, given the state of many modern
automobile headlights - glorified in their ads - it seems that
it is now acceptable to blind anyone in the vicinity.

"on and off, and on and off"?

Proof, if any were needed, that Binary somewhere plays a part
in their operation?  :-)

May be the light wanted to tell me something? May be it was even Morse

	That's a mangled variant of "She was only the telegrapher's

I remember when I was a kid (seems to be a day for memories) I’d come back
from the drive-in about midnight and so many stars were visible I really
hot a sense for the immensity of the universe. When I moved to Phoenix a
few years ago I expected to be awed, having heard stories about stars in
the desert sky. I’m in the extreme south of the city, cut off from downtown
by a mountain and about three blocks from empty desert, but the light
pollutions is so bad only five or six of the brightest stars are visible.
I’m disappointed.

Same in Texas. We would be driving back to the house from a drive-in
theater and see lots of stars. Last time I was back over there, high
pressure sodium lights lined the highway. Of course, the drive-ins are
all gone to.

in early 80s, I started HSDT project, t1 and faster speed links ... was
also working with NSF director and was suppose to get $20M to
interconnecct the NSF supercomputer centers (congress then cuts the
budget, some other things happen, and eventually NSF puts out RFP in
part based on what we already had running). NSF had also given $60M to
UC for a Berkeley supercomputer center ... but the regents master plan
had UCSD getting the next bldg ... so it went there instead (UCSD
supercomputer center operations subcontracted to general atomics).

Something of side effect, got involved in the Berkeley 10m telescope
project, they were doing some testing at Lick observatory (east of san
jose) ... including playing with CCDs as part of converting astronomy
from film to electronics (and be able to do remote observing from ground
level and back on the mainland). They only had 200x200 pel CCD (40k) for
testing but there were rumors that Spielberg had 2Kx2K (4mpel) CCDs
(migrating movie industry from film to CCD). 

At the time San Jose was going to convert from mercury to sodium
street lights and Lick was fighting over high-pressure sodium
verses low-pressure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_vapor_lamp#Light_pollution_considerations

Eventually the project got a grant from Keck Foundation and it becomes
the Keck Observatory
https://www.keckobservatory.org/
the initial sizing of mainland remote viewing was it needed at
least 800kbits/sec.

NSF RFP trivia drift: internal politics prevent us from bidding, the NSF
director tries to help by writting the company a letter, copying the CEO
(with support from other gov. agencies) ... but that just made the
internal politics worse (as did comments that what we already had
running was at least 5yrs ahead of all RFP responses). old post with
copy of 28Mar1986 preliminary release.

I was so excited by Sputnik. Mom, Dad, and I went out unto the front yard
and watched it all the way across the sky. i think it was sputnik that
blinked, but it may have been some other satellite - opposite hemispheres
were black and silver, so it blinked as it rotated.

I was 6 years old at that time, but I distinctly remember people in the
road looking up at was probably an aeroplane glinting in the rays
from the setting sun and discussing whether or not it was the Sputnink.

One side effect of the launch of the Sputnik was that the world of
make-believe in the shape of the Christian and Jewish tradition was
completely debunked when the Sputnik did not hit a Blue Firmament
on the way up.

There was (is) a stand-up comedian who does routines about the way 
things used to be:

"When I was a teenager, we did *not* have caller id...  you just 
answered the phone and took your chances!!!"

"We did *not* have message machines or voice mail... if you were *not* 
home and someone called... you just *missed* it!"

"In the past, we had *no* GPS or navigation units.  If you were going on 
a trip, you stopped at a gas station ("service station") and got a big, 
confusing folded paper thing called a "road map"!

Although if you go back far enough, the operator would have
rung your line and announced the caller.
