Very interesting to ponder.

The stars we see with the naked eye are in our Milky Way galaxy. There are Nebulosities out there, Gas Couds which are beginning formations of Galaxies, full of gasses, they are brightly lit from the stars forming, or formed in them.

In Earth's atmosphere, we have our blue sky due to the Sun's light reflecting in what is mainly a Oxygen/Hydrogen gas mixture, in the atmosphere.

Looking out my back door.



Today, with manmade light on the roads and buildings, if we look toward a city at night from outside it, we can see how the light reflects off of any clouds in the sky. In some cases bright enough to illuminate the ground around us to a certain degree.
While mainly amber lighting is used on roads today, and shading around the bulbs to direct light downward, light pollution is still a problem which will interfere with our ability to see the stars at night.

Many astronomical observatories are located high on mountain tops around the world, and away from cities, which afford excellent viewing with, and without, the telescopes.
