If you live in an urban or suburban area (like the Twin Cities), look up at the sky and night during a particularly clear evening and you’ll notice something missing – the Milky Way. You can see many stars, constellations, planets, and even the International Space Station, all depending on the clouds and the time of year but much of the night sky is simply not visible to you if you live near a city. In fact, most of Minnesota and Wisconsin are plagued by light pollution making it difficult, if not impossible, to see meteor showers, passing satellites, and distant galaxies. It’s estimated on a typical night in Minneapolis you can see 20-100 stars. That’s it.
