Do you believe stars are real?

Question

Living in a rural area I get a pretty good view of the night sky. But in towns and cities light pollution can block out the stars.

This got me thinking, are there people in big cities who've never seen stars and do some of them think stars are just made up?

Wait, are you telling me that their really are, what did you call them, stars, in the sky? lol

As a fellow country person I also get a pretty good view of the fireflies in the night sky twinkling away as if someone was playing with them. Though I have never thought that somewhere someone may not have seen the stars shining on a pitch black night. Your question makes me wonder, could it be?

I grew up in Jacksonville, Fla. The stars that were visible were the brighter ones in the constellations. I did not understand how full the sky was until I went on a camping trip in a light reduced area. The sky is so crowded with stars. The brighter ones form the constellations, they are not the only one in the sky.

You never know. Some think the Sun and the Moon are the same thing. They must think the moon is when the sun is in night light mode. 😂🤣🙄🙄

I grew up in a rural area, and i’m quite fond of star gazing. I’ve had a number of the apps that keep me apprised of celestial events and help me to identify the planets and more complex constellations.

All anyone has to do to see stars is leave a big city for a night. Sure, we won't see the milky way, but we'll see stars. The most populous areas in the US are suburbs and as a lifelong suburbanite, I can always see some stars. In order to see the milky way, I had to travel to Hawaii.

There are people who believe that the earth is flat, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who believe that stars are made up.

I think that they are real. I like to sit outside on a clear night and just enjoy the night sky. I have seen the Northern Lights twice from my home. They are indescribably gorgeous!

When people look up at the night sky, I expect them to see the eyes of their Lord and Master bean2k21 looking down on them. That thing that looks like the Orion's belt? It's my horsewhip, ready to discipline you.

I wouldn't imagine it's quite that bad but I do remember here in the UK they were asking city kids from around London where things like eggs and milk came from and they weren't too sure

RavVid · Answer

You can still see stars in a city night sky but you can't see so many and you certainly can see colors of stars. I don't it would be possible to think stars are made up.

There is people here that think the earth is flat with no proof. I'm 100% absolutely sure you can find people that believe in Santa Clause here.

lightbulb27 · Answer

they are real but the problem is the light is from millions of years ago. They may not exist "now"... when that light gets to us.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I grew up in the sticks and live in the sticks. I am always amazed at how many stars there are on a clear night.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, but there are many people who believe that stars only exist at night... never seeing any during the day.

OddBeMe · Answer

Only if they’re dumbasses.

But ironically a good portion of the stars you’re viewing probably aren’t there today. We’re just seeing the light still traveling billions of lightyears through space. The constellations are wildly different…
