Dealing with light trespass from a neighbor's unshielded outdoor fixture can be frustrating, especially when municipal code enforcement fails. But local ordinance limits do not leave you powerless. Under common law, unwanted light invasion can be treated as a private nuisance interfering with property enjoyment. In our latest article, we outline a practical workflow to resolve neighbor lighting disputes through de-escalation, documentation, mediation, and nuisance law principles.

Hey all, do you know someone who works in design, architecture, fashion/textiles,…? Something that involves color? Could also be an adjacent field like neuroscience.
I have some sort of gift related to differentiating hues and I’m trying to understand what I might do with it. Boosts appreciated 🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🔵🟢🟡🟠#accessibility #architecture #art #color #darkSkies #design #fashion #graphicDesign #light #neurology #neuroscience

Peering into the Galactic Core. 🌌✨
When you step away from light pollution, the night sky transforms into a dense canvas of cosmic structure. This frame captures the Milky Way's galactic center, highlighting dark interstellar dust lanes silhouetted against glowing star fields and distant hydrogen nebulae (like the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae).

#HopiProphecy mentions "cobwebs in the sky", which has been interpreted as telephone/electrical wires. But doesn't this timelapsed image of all the satellites look more like cobwebs in the sky?

#Hexing #AISlop with #QueerMagic
#LGBTQ+ artists showcase #AlternativeSpiritualities in an exhibit at the #PalmSpringsArtMuseum.
Miles W. Griffis September 10, 2026
Excerpt: "Many of #QueerArcana ’s artists have deep ties to the #Southwest and #California, and the #vortices, #boulderfields and #DarkSkies that have long drawn seekers to places like #JoshuaTree, #SedonaAZ , and #CrestoneCO , appear in their artwork. These spiritual landscapes are often overlain by a body-centric and fantastical imagery that pierces the #ThinVeil between the physical and spirit realms."

99% of Americans can't see the Milky Way. We didn't lose it. We lit it out of existence. The question is whether we'll decide the sky was worth keeping.

Go New York!! Another common sense law has been proposed. It would mean people can save money on electricity, see the stars, protect migrating birds, AND get better sleep 😌
It’s called the Dark Skies Protection Act (Senate Bill S9637A) if you want to give your state senator a quick call:Some good news lately as communities see the win-win of thoughtful lighting. So I hope you’ll give this bill a push ⬆️

"The Flagstaff story earns retelling because it inverts the usual environmental script. There was no crisis, no reckoning, no expensive restoration — just a small law passed early, before the thing it protected was lost, renewed by each generation because the residents could step outside and see what they were saving."

Selling the Sun
Commentary by cartoonist #JenSorensen :
"The FCC just approved the test launch of a space mirror-bearing satellite from a company called Reflect Orbital. The plan is to test one mirror this year, and scale up to a 'constellation' of 50,000 by 2035.
For a few years now, the company has been touting the illumination of solar farms at night as the primary reason for the mirrors. Setting aside whether this is feasible or even a priority in a country that is doing its best to undermine solar power, the company is openly promoting other, less noble uses: extending working hours at industrial sites, replacing streetlights in urban areas, and (as I mentioned in the comic) 'unforgettable nighttime experiences.'
For more background on why space mirrors are a bad idea, I recommend this Scientific American article from last year. Interestingly, this is not the first time this concept has been tried. Russia launched a prototype in the 1990s and abandoned the project. "

North America is approaching the peak of the fall migratory bird season, a time when billions of birds travel thousands of miles across the continent under the cover of darkness. Bright artificial light from urban areas creates dangerous traps, drawing birds away from natural flight paths and into hazardous building collisions.
To combat this widespread ecological issue, cities across the nation have introduced seasonal "Lights Out" initiatives encouraging building managers to dim or extinguish non-essential illumination. But do these voluntary programs deliver measurable results, or are they merely symbolic gestures?

"The public must write to their senators and representatives calling for a congressional mandate for regulation of commercial #space activity. We must vote for candidates who support protections for astronomy and #DarkSkies and rigorously scrutinize claims of safety and public benefit by companies seeking to launch #satellite constellations with devastating potential impacts."

Solid theoretical grounding for the surprisingly large spatial reach of artificial light at night from cities: "Standard dark sky protection buffers of 10–50 km are demonstrably inadequate in some cases: medium cities (10^7 lm) produce detectable radiance beyond 30 km, whilst major metropolitan areas require >100 km separation to achieve natural darkness. These findings reveal that light pollution affects protected areas at distances far exceeding current conservation planning assumptions, with implications for nocturnal biodiversity preservation and dark sky protection policies globally."
