    Visitors wax poetic about Southern Hemisphere skies. Why? Light pollution in the North leaves most of us starved for darkness

        @SpringWolf @neiltyson ...there may still be an ice hotel north of Fairbanks in the winter, but a better bet would be Bettles.

        @neiltyson One of the greatest puzzles in science right now is the "hard problem": Consciousness. Why? Because no one knows what causes it.

        @neiltyson The most magnificent sky I ever saw was in Afghanistan. Almost no light pollution at all. One of my favorite things about it.

        @neiltyson In New Zealand, we saw some of the most spectacular starry skies we'd ever seen, but it was still dark, even with a half moon.

        @neiltyson in my case, it was because for the first time, stars didn't have lines between them. I never learned the southern constellations.
