while the answer you give is indeed correct it is so vague ...

c'mon where is it?


I'll give you a totally useless clue.
see the aeroplane on the tarmac just under the strut. well if you stand behind that aircraft at the edge of the bitumen at night time, in the entire 360 degree sweep around the horizon there is not the slightest hint of a man made light.
it is so dark at night that you can see all the subtle graduations in the Magellanic clouds of the milky way. Lying on the bitumen is incredibly uncomfortable but do it and the stars are so bright that they appear to be just off the end of your extended arm. You can see stars all the way down to magnitude 9 I think. A most amazing view.
