Hmm, well, compared to the likely drab interiors they have to put up with the stars may be the only environmental beauty they get to regularly enjoy. I can imagine a lot of them spend time gazing out to the stars longingly.
Yeah, I can imagine them dreaming of living on a planet at one of those dots. They might actually be disappointed by the limited starfield you get from within a planetary atmosphere.
Yeah, I spotted the Venus thing. Though not as much light pollution where I am, I'm impressed it was that visible in Tokyo.
It's not actually too bad as long as you're not in the middle of Shinjuku or Shibuya or one of the other big neon-filled districts. Planets tend to fairly easily visible, and at the moment we've got Mars chasing Venus chasing Jupiter. Jupiter is usually one of the brightest objects in the sky, but Venus is outshining it by a long shot at the moment.
The celestial ballet is awe-inspiring indeed!
Free your mind! (seriously, watch that video, it's not Tali-related but it's awesome).
