Bring back the stars with STARSCAPES

Why is everyone happy and surprised
when they see STARSCAPES^® ?

"Most city skies have become virtually empty of stars."
National Geographic magazine, November 2008

The light pollution caused from artificial light
from the cities interferes with the view.
Some people have never seen more than a handful of stars!

On the map below

The BLACK areas (mostly ocean) below see THOUSANDS of stars.
In the BLUE areas, the faintest stars are obscured.
In the more populated YELLOW areas, artificial light supersedes brightness of the night sky.
The more populated GREEN areas, many stars lost against background glow.
The more populated ORANGE areas, the Milky Way is invisible.
The major cities RED see almost none at all, fewer than 100. Notice Paris and London on this map.
