I Love that. And you talk about being pulled toward the dark sky, but dark skies are getting a bit lighter these days, is that right?

So, there's a huge problem with light pollution.

Something I talk about in the book is, I grew up in Los Angeles next to the 10 freeway.

And we could see the moon and maybe Venus and not well.

It's — especially in the 1980s and 1990s in Los Angeles, which was like, super famous for being smoggy.

And this affects our ability to do so many of the things that, you know, you pick up a book on how to do amateur astronomy, and it's like, "okay, find Polaris and then you can star hop.

You can look through diagrams of constellations and hop from one star to another."

But what if you can't see half the constellations?

People who may even want to engage in those connections are having a more difficult time doing it, because we used to be able to just do that with our eyes — just navigate with our eyes — and light pollution makes that really difficult.

Totally, and it's definitely an accessibility issue as you say, but you also mentioned that some of the technology lately is making astrophotography and observing more accessible.
