Also light pollution has mostly ruined it for large portions of the world population. The night sky on a remote island is absolutely incredible. People don't even know what they're missing.

I recently learned there's actually a "darkness park" in the north of my country. Basically a place without light pollution. I kinda wanna visit it sometime during a new moon

Yeah you totally should. I have had some of the most peaceful moments in my life when stargazing. Sometimes I feel like it connects me spiritually with every human that ever lived across time and space. We are all equally insignificant in the context of the universe, and yet equally blessed to witness its grandeur.
