Sure, but Russia has a lot of empty space in which to site observatories. And
though Moscow looks pretty bright, the surrounding area doesn't look bad.
Compare it to, say, the Northeast Corridor or Hong Kong or Shanghai.


From the air, the Northeast Corridor looks almost like one giant city.


Looks that way when driving through it, as well. Truly a megalopolis.
