Breathtaking view of stars?
Hi everybody! I've always been blown away by stars, they really do seem magic to me, and I've always dreamed of closing my eyes as the sun sets, and opening them to a sky full of stars. Logistically, would this actually work? And also, how long do you think that I should keep my eyes closed for once the sun seems to be hitting the horizon? And I would be doing this in central France in early august :)
Thanks

Have a leisurely dinner. Then, around 830 PM, find a comfy chaise longe, set it out where there are few lights (streetlights and houselights are bad, but so is a nearby city), watch the Sun go down until it is completely below the horizon (with a good glass of wine if you like), turn over to face the east, and close your eyes to nap for an hour or so.
When you open your eyes (around 10 PM), it will be almost completely dark, and your eyes will have accommodated for night-time viewing, so the stars should be blazing nicely. There will still be some light from the Sun in the west, but almost none in the east.
Enjoy!

If you take a nap for about an hour and a half to two hours right at sunset, when you open your eyes the sky will be very dark, filled with stars, and the really cool thing...your eyes will already be deeply night adapted so the star's light will really appear bright.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

You get best view of the night sky when they city lights are off, the sky is clear and the sun is at the other side of the globe. And that would be about ~6 hrs after the sunset.

It takes about an hour and a half between sunset and and astronomical twilight, when the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon, and is the beginning of the dark period of the night.

maximum, yet no longer all, Christians have confidence that God created the universe. "permit the water decrease than the sky be amassed in one place, and allow dry floor look." What does the earth look like? One great physique of water (waters are in one place) in basic terms separated by employing land right here and there. Atheism provides human beings an get away from the sadistic God of their childhoods, yet so a approaches as all and sundry can tell there is not any longer one element interior the Bible that may no longer genuine. Any fool can permit you comprehend there's a appropriate form of water on earth, yet could all and sundry have extensive-unfold what the completed planet truthfully gave the impact of from area hundreds of years in the past? probable no longer. the two whoever wrote this basically occurred to get it genuine or this is the certainty with regard to the earth and somebody became given a divine revelation to jot down this.

You would need to wait about an hour after sunset for complete darkness.
