Is the sky of Iejima starry?

"Yes" is the right answer for people live in town, but"No"is also right for country people.Recently a golf course,which has big light for night play,was opened .The lights and other illuminations -includes US base's- light up the sky.So we can't see so many stars.But,you can see the MilkyWay or sometimes shooting stars.For good observation,I suggest the time after 22:00p.m.(the golf course is closed at the time).Northern or Western part of this island is good place to observe stars.
