In my parents farm the night sky is perfectly visible. They live far from any town and there are no lights you can't just turn off so sometimes I just look at the sky when I'm visiting.
Plenty of places like this still in my country thankfully.
I've always lived in cities and didn't see the milky way until I was in my 30s.
Anyhow, I took my kid camping last weekend and she couldn't believe how many stars there were. We were both enjoying it but then the string of SpaceX satellites went by and kind of ruined the moment
I laughed at that last part. I am sorry that happened to you but it is pretty funny.
We were just up in the mountains last weekend, it was by far the best stargazing I have ever experienced in my 40 years. I could see the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye.
Anyway, I counted over 15 satellites during the 2 hours we were outside, as well as 2 very bright meteors. Plus we saw the international space station and an iridium flare.
