[green light]

I recently spent a couple weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii. Upon my arrival I noticed that all of the street lights, and most outside lights in general emitted a yellowish light. After a bit of research I learned that these were low pressure sodium fixtures. Hawaii county has a strict lighting code, and it all revolves around astonomy. Ive linked a couple of articles that shed some light on the subject. Kinda interesting

From my house on the Big Island at Waimea I was able to see more stars than at any other time except for out to sea . Big place up there.

Cant see the stars in Seattle. Too much light pollution. Well that and other pollution as well.
