It's early August and US academics everywhere are losing it,
But that means it's book release month!

Our hosts' dog, Cosmo, graciously came out to the pool to help me set up my dolls during Thursday's photo shoot. Great-grandfather's Funeral Director's scarf is used as a wedding runner for the session. #doll #dolls #dollcollector #dollcollectors #dollphotographer #dollphotographers #dollphotography #dollpicture #dollpictures #photographingdolls #photographingtoys #vintagedolls #vintagetoy #vintagetoys #vintagedoll #vintagebarbie #barbie #midge #ken #alan #littlechaps #thelittlechapfamily

The newly released "Artificial Light at Night: State of the Science 2026" report highlights a massive surge in global light pollution research, bringing critical new insights into how artificial light at night (ALAN) impacts our world.
Key findings from 2025 studies show that our understanding of skyglow has become highly sophisticated, accounting for complex cloud coverage. Furthermore, research underscores clear health risks from the synergy of ALAN and air pollution, significant disruptions to urban vegetation dynamics, and broader ecosystem risks altering carbon cycles.
To safeguard the nocturnal commons, public policy must now catch up to this undeniable scientific consensus. Read more: https://www.darkskyconsulting.com/blog/artificial-light-at-night-state-of-the-science-2026

The #LightPollution Theory, Modeling and Measurements (LPTMM) 2026 #conference just wrapped. The latest data indicate an urgent global expansion of artificial light at night. Simultaneously, low Earth orbit is crowded with over 15,000 active satellites, threatening twilight research at professional observatories.
These artificial perturbations trigger profound ecological consequences. Nighttime light desynchronizes the tightly coordinated lunar cues that tropical corals rely on for spawning. It also cuts reef fish sleep short, inducing measurable neuronal DNA damage in the brain. On remote islands, unshielded #LED #lighting infrastructure directly causes severe disorientation and fatal collisions for endemic seabirds.
To protect skies and ecosystems, researchers push to evaluate all-sky angular light distributions and ground-level illuminance over traditional, zenith-only metrics. Utilizing low-cost calibrated RGB digital cameras provides an open, "good enough" baseline to enforce outdoor lighting policies. Real mitigation relies on building cross-discipline coalitions to co-design sustainable lighting directly with local communities.

As a historian (of #night #ArtificialLight #ALAN #lightpollution), this is a fascinating study for so many reasons. And conveniently it is now in the conclusion of my Memphis talk for next week.

New today in @Nature: "Our findings challenge the prevailing perspective that changes in light radiance are largely gradual and unidirectional. Instead, the nightlights of Earth are surprisingly dynamic."

And some reporting on the study and its implications by @skyandtelescope: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/light-pollution-is-increasingly-volatile-around-the-world/

SpaceX plans to launch a million (!) satellites into orbit. Aside from the impacts on the environment ...
"This loss of the night sky, something that has guided humanity since the dawn of time and influenced culture, religion and science, would be immeasurable."
