All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
There are parts of the world where you can still see the night sky like in the picture. Your eyes will adjust.
I can only speak from my own experience, of course, but I've lived pretty far off the grid, way out in the boondocks of southwestern Oregon and although the sky could be pretty spectacular on a clear, moonless night, I never witnessed anything as intense as that photograph.

OK. I have to base my comment on pictures I've seen from SA at night on the west coast of it.
Now then, enjoy the picture and quit being whinny. (bitch)
I can't help it. It's my M.O. and you ought to know—you're the one that hung the title on me. You whore.

Very true, our eyes don't have the integration time to see so many faint details. In the western U.S., there are still a lot of places where one encounters truly dark skies. When driving across country on a clear, moonless night, I will sometimes take a highway exit (to get away from car lights) and view the heavens. It's incredible when there are so many stars in the sky that it becomes difficult to identify the major constellations. People living close to a big city will never see such a view.
