I was thinking the same thing. I moved here, to semi-rural southeastern Michigan, not too far from Ann Arbor, in 1984. Our skies used to give me an easy view of the Milky Way, but it's very hard to see nowadays. Increasing light pollution from the growing towns all around us, and the proliferation of unshielded LED lights for street and business lighting has been very bad news for anyone who enjoys viewing the night sky.
