Back in LA...Where Have All the Stars Gone?

So since I've come back to LA from northern California the one thing that I have noticed the most is how you can't see any stars, or at least the kind of stars that I would like to see, because of all the light pollution. I remembered this web site that my teacher from my astronomy class told us about. That every day this web site would put up pictures of space that were taken though telescopes and I just find it interesting that some of these pictures look as though they could have been photo shopped but yet they are just from the outer reaches of our universe. It does not hurt that I find space a fascinating place.
