For almost all of human history we lived with that true night sky.

I wonder if the psychological impact is really the absence of the true night sky that we have. Maybe the awe we feel at seeing the true night is what we’re supposed to feel? Something to think about.

For women it was probably closer to fear. Unless you were rich and could afford a bodyguard carrying a torch.
