Once again, we’re on the outside looking in. That’s okay, we’re used to it, but for goodness sake couldn’t we get just a little pat on the back once in a while?

The project allows stargazers to explore and experience the Universe as it is seen with the unaided eye from the darkest and best viewing locations in the world.

Well, it's very nice, but any suggestion that this or any other photographic presentation, however organized, can recreate or substitute for the experience of viewing the heavens directly, is sadly misguided.
