Did anyone catch the episode of the "Simpsons" from last night? I flipped over while in progress and noticed Lisa's dilemma about finding a dark site to observe the stars from. Did anyone see the entire show? Was it relatively accurate (in a Simpson parameter) in its portrayal of the problem?

In the typical exaggerated cartoon fashion, yes it was. I was quite surprised that they would dedicate an episode to light pollution. I'm somewhat confused by exactly what type of telescope it is that Lisa bought, though smile
