Yes! It's pretty easy to see if you are in an area with low levels of ambient light. I've seen it with the naked eye in a remote camp in Ohio and in several places in Arizona in the US. Being up in a fairly isolated part of a mountain range at night also works.
You mean with no light pollution? Sure, plenty. Used to live in a town of 5000 (and nothing but farms for a good 50 sq. miles or so out), so pretty much every night for 10 years.
Yes I've seen it! I lived for 11 years in the countryside, far enough from light pollution to see the milky way every night the sky was clear
Yes, I used to live out in the middle of 40 acres of forest. There was a massive clearing where our house was and I could see it overhead. It was freaking amazing.
I've seen it a few times. The last time I remember seeing it was when I lived in WI. I lived in a small city of 10,000 and we lived right on the edge of town in an apartment complex that was bordered by the interstate highway and a field. The ambient light out there was very low and on a clear night we could see the wispy bands of the Milky Way. It was pretty cool
Because I live so far north, I see the northern lights a lot. The stars here are unlike anywhere else you've ever seen. There's so many and the northern lights are fantastic. I have seen the milky way before. It's incredible.
