Even really far away, in complete darkness, with the sky literally covered by a million stars, the sky mostly remains pitch black to the naked eye, with very faint bits of color from planets like Mars, some stars, and some nebulae. It's as black as the line of the forest that obscures it, which you only vcan see by the way it covers the stars.
Unfortunately, all these beautiful colors from the article are mostly invisible to a naked human eye. Long-exposure shots are the best chance to register these colors, telescopes help, but only for a tiny bit if the sky.
And, of course, they are but small dots, and the sky is vast and (in an urban setting) rather empty; there are few sufficiently bright stars, and of course nothing comparable to the colorful glow of space dust, nebulae, or even a noticeable atmosphere glow, except for backlight of the city.
Isn't that a petrolhead reference? I thought it was the position of the camshaft in an ICE that places cylinder 1 at maximum compression.
/me not a petrolhead, nor even a driver.
Truly some pockets of gems in the rough on that site.
