A Colorado Town Goes Dark To Let The Milky Way Shine Bright | TODAY 

it's called by idiots progress they light the way for intruders

Same

Make to the country then

preachersdtr1 I live in Tennessee!!

Agreed man. I live in New York and I wish I could see this...

Tony Pepperoni Absolutely, Tony’roni!!!

Google “Earthhour” also look up the “International dark sky association” I believe it is darksky.org That will give you some information on what you can do to help with light pollution. :)

Tony Pepperoni but imagine all the crimes that could be committed once the lights are off

Practically, I don't think that's a good idea. It's actually a terrible idea.

That's uh a very bad idea lol

indeed :)

🍺🍻

there's just so many light pollution,so we couldn't see it😔😔😔😐😐😐😐😑😑😑

Same

or be there

That's what I thought at first too. You better take another look, unless you've got a weak heart, and think it over. I've realized through careful observations, that it's actually "The Great Rift:", a crack in the Firmament, not a galaxy. Closer examination and studying it's movements across earth will change your mind and life.

I mistaken the milky for clouds once

When I was younger and we were camping I saw it it was amazing

I saw it very dim once, I had to get my phone and get my star app to realize it was the milky way

+Eziekle Crafts What are you talking about?

Bryson Fetters Another crazy conspiracy theorist

Tbh, when its cloudy I like light pollution because that orange glow is kind of pretty, but when it's clear out, I hate it

@Eziekle Crafts what?

@ I know what he means you just may have never seen it

I Am Prometheus liar

nickiminajsflaps are u joking

Is it really that bright?

Lucky

I'm actually a little bit jealous

I know first time I really saw the milky way was Monument Valley Spectacular!

Platero Begay Truly, the Beautiful Way. "A little bit of Heaven, right here on Earth." Thank you, sir. I hope to be able to visit your Nation, before I die.

Platero Begay wow what a great thing to see. I’ll bet you see other things such as our cosmic cohabitants don’t you? They may be the answer to our salvation I think. It will be difficult to defeat the destroyers without their assistance ...!

It looks EXACTLY like that?

So envious..

Anderhils thats exactly what it was meant to be Why do you think its the exact same concpt? Sections of providers are called “Channels” Who gain miney from advertisements that want viewership from the videos that they provide

its free and millions of choices to watch

freaking 30 second ads

Rainbow Paws It wasn’t always like this. I’ve been here since the beginning, and in the early days it was to allow regular people like you and I to host content online for free. There was no advertisements then. It was about empowering the user, something people take for granted nowadays.

I watch youtube on my TV

You better believe it was honey. I was there. Did multiple cross oceanic trips during the 18th century and it was a truly astonishing sight to behold.

stop the waste of light pollution? you those lights are meant for something? you know LIGHT?

No doubt!! Once a week or month...wouldn't hurt ANYONE!!! ❤❤

@@edofluit6568 mate are you gonna start crying if the lights turn off

@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz102 what if the dude is night blind And can't see below or dimmer than full moonlight clear sky Or he has the fear of dark Or he just doesn't like the idea.

@@maryann2628 to be fair, he just seems angry

The earth doesn’t orbit it stands still the moon and sun rotate around the earth

Liz Beth your stupid right?

@@lizbeth8893 I think you failed astronomy class, the earth takes a year to rotate around the sun meanwhile is rotating on it's own axis which is why you see day and night

@@lizbeth8893 we can see our home galaxy from within, the milky way and people are still claiming earth is flat and space doesn't exist 😂

@@lizbeth8893 Bait is way too obvious.

same

yeah R.I.P

@@giammy0 thank you

Exactly what i was thinking .

Yes we do need them.

yes so i could rob easier

No, there not gna shut off NYC lights for that. People would end up dying no joke.

The key here is to remember that we need the light on the ground, not in your eyes or in the sky!

Omg!! I'm so jealous! That has to be breathtaking....❤😔

Which state? (or region)

Bro almost all Canadians live in suburban areas or 100km from us boarder

@@RustInPeace2490 HaHaHa... "from US _boarder"???_ God what a maroon! Foghorn Leghorn: "I say I say, that boy's so dumb he thinks the Mexican border pays rent"!!

True

I agree with you totally...

Well said

God doesn't exist. It's a Jewish creation. Juno created the Milky Way.

@@googlebarbaralernerspectre2581 big bang

Select Obvi, the night's sky can inspire kids to become astronomers. lol...not astrologists!

Yeah, already done it. I’m 11 and in love with space.

astrologists eh? an astrological scientologist? *shudder*

We dont need more astrologists. Their predictions are never right because its all just guesswork and tarot cards and crystal balls.

fakiirification Far from it my friend

Hi I want to ask can you see it with your normal eyes ???

@@Iraishanarain obviously you can

Nathan Taylor thats amazing. I wish I could see it one day

It was beautiful to see, however you can it will be worth it. Trust me.

It's so astonishing to see it's scary

awesome

Joanie Adams That it is, Joanie! ...a wonderful kind of scary, but yeah, as an adult I felt like I was falling into the sky! But it's so incredible, it's hard to tell people about all the things it makes you start thinking about, wondering about, and sometimes understanding. I miss all of that, so much. I think I need to look up that "Dark Sky Association" and volunteer in some capacity. It would be worthwhile, I think. I miss the astounding night sky, very much!

It's never going to happen in cities. Hospital, Industry, Business, Logistics etc... is 24/7/365.

90% of light pollution is due to the way of enlighting not the fact to put a light !

Totally agree but just one thing : light pollution is considered like the first environnemental pollution in the cities before air pollution ! And nearly nobody knows and consider that !!!

Noah S. I think people think there's nothing we can do about the situation; but there IS. Some of the changes are so simple to accomplish! If you Google "light pollution" (or Bing it), there's a LOT of info resources to explore, to learn what we CAN do. You may be very surprised at how simple some of the solutions are, and energy saving, as well. Read Paul Bogard's non-fiction book, "The End of Night." It's a very interesting and informative read.

Fab Del TRUE! Thank you for that!

Jenn Hoff ME TOO!!!

belly tripper I think you've just answered the question, "How dumb can you get?" Don't measure other people's corn by your half-bushel. You probably don't know what THAT means, either. Lay offa the pipe. Your brain needs more oxygen.

Bro you killed him

Im sure it was your first in few times. It's so hard to see nowadays

i am getting chills, i want to see it so bad

You have any picture? Wish to see it..

I kind of take it for granted growing up in Idaho, now on the south western Boise part. You don't have to go very far from any of our cities or towns to see the the Milky Way and all the stars. Indian Springs a small camping pool resort, we had a scouts camping trip and dutch oven breakfast the next morning, that night I remember just laying in the field looking up for hours. So many other close locations throughout the state, around Lava Hot Springs, Downata Hot Springs, near various small towns like Malad, Inkom, Idaho City, Cascade, Sun Valley or any mountains anywhere in the state.

Was it this bright and clear or do the cameras just enhance it?

None None so most times during Milky Way photos, they use long exposure to get the most light inside the shutter by keeping it open for a long time, maybe like 20-30 seconds. But it’s still VERY visible with your own eyes.

magguette09 ye I've been to big bear dozens of times and sadly didn't see this magic

The shot from Lake Tahoe is on the cover of TIME magazine, early morning sunrise, look east.

Fulton, You can start a movement to restore starlight in your community. Yes. You. Can. The technology is now available and affordable to provide excellent lighting without destroying the night sky. PC Amber or 2200K LED fixtures, full-cut off, dimming capability with motion or heat activation after-hours where appropriate. And... it will save taxpayers a LOT OF $$ because you are reducing waste. Contact International Dark-Sky Association. They can help. You can also reach me through them.

Fulton Creed i feel ur pain.. i live by Disneyland

Fulton Creed You won’t see this anywhere. It doesn’t look like that to the naked eye. It is enhanced by the camera.

*Night Vision sound PEEEWWWWW!!**

Is that because it makes you realize there really is a God who created it all?

@@crazyguy313youtubify not everyone believes in your myths; Nature on its own has enough to look at, reflect upon and be humbled by, without the need of involving religion.

@@punkiller666 The reality of 666 is that it's the mark of the Beast, an evil poitical and religious structure kf Satan's world govt.The myths you mention are mostly in the Propagandae you were spoon fed as a child, including that spinnable ball they called the earth. You would be more than humbled by God's loving nature and character, not just in the natural balance of the creation. The Bible and his Holy Spirit continually reveals secrets of living as we grow older and wiser, his knowledge and wisdom seeming to be endless, the more we learn.

@@crazyguy313youtubify stop

IF YOU COME TO CHRIST YOU WILL see it, pass through it. If you DONT meet Christ, you really WILL BE CRYING when you get dragged under.

Not quite, it's God's marvelous Dome," the Firmament" you're under it.

Juno created the Milky Way.

@@crazyguy313youtubify god doesnt exist, get over it

@CL Melonshark Yuh, what what?

This can help you: www.lightpollutionmap.info/

Contact the International Dark-Sky Association. They have a hand out sheet that will help you talk to your neighbor. Good luck!

did u ever think it might be you

lenny Go to Cherry Springs State Park in central PA. Probably like an hour or two drive from you. One of the best stargazing spots in the world apparently.

Look for: "light pollution map" you'll see where to go 😉 you're welcome!

I go to places in Arizona. Outside of phoenix there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to block your view. No clouds, haze, light. Sometimes if you are in a good spot the milky way is so bright that one has a shadow cast from its light.

Cherry springs state park in northern pa is where you want to go. Go to their website. They have star gazing parties right in your state. Darkest spot on eastcoast

On my bucket list. And grand canyon

If you make it to heaven, (haven, Rakia, Firmament) you will pass through that big crack in it. No, really. Others have, and came back to tell the story,. like Henry Gruber. Look him up on the tube./

@@crazyguy313youtubify There's actually another type of pollution. It's people like you, polluting the comments section of these actually interesting videos.

@@crazyguy313youtubify bruh its not religion bruh u can see it on earth without dying just stay zway from citys and lights go 3 hours driving outside the city

@@eddieteddy273 You can look at the "milky way" with two mental images in mind. You can imagine seeing a ball of stars surrounded by spokes of stars. Or you can look hard and close at it on Nat Geo's "Night Sky", and in all the time lapse videos in youtube, and how it moves, and you may start thinking, (as I did) this thing looks like a crack in the sky. How could that be? HOW can it move the way it does? THAT doesnt make any SENSE. HOW can it move that way? So I started thinking "whut if it is a crack?" and looked VERRY closely at it, and how it moves. You'll come to know that there is no such thing as a "solar system" as you were taught. You 'll figure that out if you want to know the truth. AND did you know? The ancients before Adam and Eve, called that the "Great Rift?" meaning a RIP, and they knew it was a rip in the sky dome, or Firmament, or Rakia--"a transparent dome, made of metal, hammered out thin". That's from Hebrew translations, not the Greek. Forget Greek, the Bible was written in Hebrew, and misinterpreted by the pagans. The ancients didnt use space craft, they were told that by God and "knew it". 2,000 years later Adam and Eve were created after the world was flooded for the sinfulness of Satan. His world was washed away. But we found the evidence in Gobekli Tepe, that the astronomical map was the same then as it is now. And they called it the Great Rift, the place where departed souls enter heaven (IF they enter heaven). And it just so happens to reflect prophecies of when ISRAEL is going to be incinerated in war, and the saints enter heaven at the Rapture, or The Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God. Then the final 7 years tribulation starts, with the antichrist in power, and THAN Yashua (Jesus) comes to set up his kingdom on earth, the kingdom comes. You live in the very generation to see that happen, as told by Christ, "the generation to see Israel 'return' as a nation will be the one to see my return". This is saying that HE is coming back (after his murder), but before the return, the Jews will be removed from Israel, but then return to it, as a nation, the capitol in Jerusalem, when WWIII breaks out, Rapture happens, for 7 years, the antichrist takes over, then Jesus comes. that's the layout. His earnest warning is "Dont take the mark of the antichrist, you will NOT enter heaven if you betray God that way. "

@@crazyguy313youtubify bro what are you saying were talking about milky way and im a christian and its wring to judge me bro you cant see it on the city thats called 'light pollution' and i still go to heaven if i have faith in the lord repend and pray you cant judge where will i bie

Clos MasMas were you able to truly see the milky way? the colorful night sky or were the videos shown were just exposure from cameras?

@@nou257 The colors? Yes. But the milky way would still look good It would look like a big grey thing in the sky and you can see some detail of the milky way Depends of your natural night vision If you don't or barely have it you can't see it. If you have low then you can barely see it. If you have average then its like what i said in the top of comment. If you have good night vision Then you can see almost every detail and see barely any color. It is not like the camera but beautiful.

Scott Dunn Amen!

OK!

VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR. I ONCE SAW THE MILKY WAY WHILST HIKING THROUGH MOUNTAIN. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. I WANT TO VISIT COLORADO SOMEDAY, IT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT PLACE.

I want some of whatever your smoking

Anani Mhi So you live in a shill town that had a hoax killing cool

How high are you?

Yeah maybe go mountain hiking or visit Norway, Netherland etc... Im sure you will see this kind of thing clearly

@@ViperDivinity Netherlands? where in the netherlands should i go? i live here and i want to see it.

WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL PASS STRAIGHT THRU it, on your way to Heaven, (haven, Rakia, Firmament of Gen 1), if you go to God in repentence now. YOU WILL know eternal life, and pass right through the Rift at death. Heaven's right on the other side. What you WONT believe is that it's only around 5,000 miles away. Now it' gets sticky.

Garland Parks stop polluting the comments with all that Bible crap, not everyone is Christian you force converting missionary.

Anime Life -Dragon Ball And Naruto This has nothing to do with America. Except for the fact it was recorded in a American town

Oh, thanks god for giving America a beautiful sky like that! Kappa Are you serious dude?!!! We're talking about stars! The same starts that everyone see around the world and you're saying: I love America!!??

I'm guessing that guy doesn't really understand English, except for simple phrases like "I Love America" and the F word

Not everybody can see the same stars though, us at the northern hemisphere will never see anything that the folks over at the southern hemisphere have without going there. That being said, it would be amazing if this was done everywhere, amateur astronomers would love it if this was done everywhere in the planet.

Theophile Matthias Louison What do YOU care? Why are you jumping on this little guy for exercizing his freedom of speech? How does that threaten YOU so much that you ridicule him for saying what he feels? I'm curious.

Thank you for that information! That's wonderful to know. Thank you!

marie bevan Prove that God is responsible for the stars, oh you can't, too bad. Use your brain, you can't prove an imaginary sky man exists.

Garland Parks please tell me your joking please

So you think My "dome''s got a crack in it, eh? God warned his people that in the end times he will send a grand delusion so strong that even his people (Judeo-Christians) would be deceived if possible. The Books of Enoch have been removed from our sight to hide these facts, but Ezekial, Moses, Job, John (Revelations 15), and other major prophets, incl Jesus (the Son) aren't joking when they speak of these things. You can figure out that all the continents were once attached before the great split. There's so much more, and a lot of Good News attached to the bad. . The Bible says the stars are attached inside the dome, and the greater luminaries, the sun & moon rotate above us, inside the dome. Study the explorers,esp Admiral Richard Byrd's proofs that we 're covered by a dome, with more land masses outside of Antarctica. 6000 years of naval explorers producing maps that show 32 continents outside the dome cant all be wrong. And nobody can guess how far it goes beyond that, or how many more domes covering other"worlds" exist. All we know is that Yeshua (Jesus) is our Messiah, and this is HIS dome, and he's coming to take it over real soon. It's made of glass panels attached to grids. I do believe I've seen the grids. Get your mind boggled. Dare to watch the flat earth videos. God is real.

people like you are holding the entire world back with your ancient thinking kindly do something useful with your life and dont breed

I obviously havent held you back from thinking what you believe.In the past 7,000 years, the continents and the dome split and slid apart, the continents were covered by water and then ice. Most of it thawed. God says 'I never change, never will" although we can change what he DOES with some simple, sincere prayer. Adm Byrd photographed a wall of ice 1500 m.high, surrounding our continents, and discovered there are more continents outside of that rim of ice we call Antarctica. You've no doubt heard America's song Ventura Highway, whc describes the world outside of the world you know, because they (and many others) went there and saw it. It's covered by a dome, and outside of that is more ice where no suns melt it, and the land goes on indefinitely. Start looking at Flat Earth vids and dont stop until you understand everything. THEN decide who's wrong.
