being a hobby astronomer, I was able to see what difference it really makes, seeing the stars through a light 'dome' even in a fairly small city (30k) and in the alps, one of the very few spots in switzerland where you actually still can find dark sky. the majority of myriads of stars are just too faint to be seen (by eye) while the sky is light polluted.
