Flying at night is an experience all in itself. Sure in the sunlight you can see the details of towns and its surrounding area. But at night, you can only see the outlines of the neighborhoods and shopping malls. Everything else is a blank slate ready for you to imagine all that is below you. Wonders of what is in the darkness keeps your mind busy.
And once you are done fantasizing about the landscape below, you look up for a new show. Cup your hands around either side and look out the window to see the sky lit up just like the Earth below. It's almost as grand as the view you see from your tent at camp. A beautiful and brilliant sight. I would not have anyone miss in their lifetime Orion's belt and the Big Dipper staring you in the face, closer than you've ever been to them before. So if you're ever flying at night, try for a window seat for a different view.
