Lights Out San Francisco to Turn SF Into North Korea

Lights Out San Francisco promises to darken SF's nighttime sky on October 20th with a coordinated turn-off-your-lights campaign that continues this week. The city has signed on. So has the Golden Gate Bridge. What do you think, SF? Is this a bold environmental statement, or a crackpot idea cooked up by post-luddites who wear tinfoil hats? "Eww, light pollution!" And does anyone actually think it's going to be darker in SF from 8- 9 p.m. on October 20? Isn't sunlight still kinda out at that hour? -David Downs

Well, a simple check on The Google show that sunset in San Francisco on October 20 is 6:26 PM, with the end of twilight by 6:52. thus, except for a fairly bright moon (65% visible, assuming clear skies), it should be good and dark by the 8:00 PM start time.

Ever seen the Milky Way?

I think this is really cool. It was done in Sydney a while ago and people had a great time - think candellight dinner!

Your North Korea analogy is not only utterly misguided, it's dumb.
