Not in all its glory, mind, but you can see it, and Crux Australis, such a definitive Southern Hemisphere constellation that it appears on five national flags. Although it can be hard to see Epsilon Crucis in a city, as it&amp;#x27;s a bit dimmer than the four main stars.&lt;p&gt;But then I travelled to far more densely populated Northern Hemisphere countries, and wow, I see what light pollution is, I really wanted to see Orion right side up, but wasn&amp;#x27;t able to get far enough away from populated areas when the sky was clear.&lt;p&gt;Another benefit of living on a sparsely populated island I guess, not sure if it offsets all of the downsides (island &amp;quot;tax&amp;quot; is real, small economy makes it hard to challenge incumbents who dominate a market, we get very few concerts from the top bands, often left off maps), but it did make appreciate what we have in terms of the night sky.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m a real big fan of dark sky reserves, it&amp;#x27;s a fantastic idea.

It&amp;#x27;s actually the middle of the day here.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve tried slight variations of my current location in case it was just getting mixed up with other similarly named places elsewhere in the world. No luck.&lt;p&gt;OTOH I already have the Android version on my phone and that has always worked just fine.&lt;p&gt;Strange...</text></comment>
