Stars can shine. In fact, stars can light up the sky: even at new moon, everything here was clearly visible at night. The air was so clean I could get to the summit of Moore's Knob (2500 feet) with little more effort than it takes to do a routine walk back home in the big city. We never think of air quality as being related to heart health, but maybe we should start doing it.
