The northern lights have been blazing their beauty across Icelandic skies all last week, but it's a lot easier to watch nature's light show if the city lights themselves aren't so darn bright. So, on Wednesday night the Reykjavik city council turned off the lights in parts of the city so residents could ooh and aah at a clearer display.
The city street lights in most neighborhoods were scheduled to go dark between 10 and 11 p.m., though that time was reportedly extended when the northern lights were a little late to the party. Locals were asked to help by keeping the lights off in their homes. They were asked to drive carefully on the darker -than-normal streets, and the fire, police and power company were warned in advance, according to Iceland Monitor.

Try Las Vegas for awhile. If there is cloud cover at night we have a "second day". It's interesting to try to find a place in Las Vegas in the middle of the night where you can't see anything. Pretty rare find. If there is a full moon, we can't tell the difference either. Plus the Luxor is probably objectively brighter than a full moon, and that's every single night.
I went on a trip to South America once though and can quote SpongeBob, "this isn't your everyday darkness, this is.... advanced darkness". Then they told me there were Jaguars in the jungle and I couldn't pay attention to the stars as well.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
