  1. New preprint by @salvabara asks whether it's possible to reconcile observations of the rate of increasing #LightPollution from #GlobeAtNight and #VIIRS_DNB: arxiv.org/pdf/2409.13111

    Conclusion: it's *possible* that they are in agreement, but it requires assuming that there is a lot of increase in glare affecting the GaN observers.

    Salva, I didn't quite understand whether you model a shift in which more of the light is emitted horizontally, not causing glare, but just brightening the sky?

  2. "Sichtbarkeit von Sternen am #Nachthimmel nimmt schneller ab, als bislang angenommen"

    "Das zeigt .. Studie im Fachmagazin Science anhand eines weltweiten Citizen Science Projekts zur #Lichtverschmutzung, das in den letzten 11 Jahren Daten erhoben hat. .. Pressemitteilung .. GFZ."
