People are losing their view of the night sky all across the globe.*
A sweeping new study analyzing five years of satellite data reveals that nights are growing brighter around the world as cities switch to more energy efficient LEDs.*
The new study (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/11/e1701528), published in the journal Science Advances, shows that global light pollution has increased by about 2 percent per year from 2012 to 2016. This increase is important to document, since a range of health-related issues for wildlife and even humans have been traced to light pollution.
