"'Beyond the limit': one million satellites and mirrors in space pose grave threat to the night sky" by European Southern Observatory @esoastronomy - Quantifying effects on astronomers from proposed 1M+ satellites. It estimates the threshold of harm at 100,000 objects, and preferably capped at less. Currently 14,000. This is the original ESO study, which was mentioned but not linked in the BBC article. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2607/ #science #LightPollution #satellite #space #environment

"This is one hour of satellite trails over the world's darkest sky. Astronomers say nearly 2 million planned satellites could be 'devastating" by BBC @skyatnightmag - Study by European Southern Observatory ESO concurs with other astronomers that planned satellite constellations totaling over 1 million objects in orbit are disastrous for #astronomy. It estimates overwhelming obstruction above 100,000 total objects. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/eso-study-satellite-trails #science #LightPollution #satellite #space #environment

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

In 2002 the Czech Republic approved the world’s first national “dark-sky” legislation.
Aimed at limiting light pollution, the law requires outdoor lighting to be shielded or pointed downward to prevent light from travelling up into the sky.

Light cues override temperature as a cue for basking in a critically endangered #crocodile, the #gharial: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989426002180?via%3Dihub -> "Basking and submerging are used to regulate body temperature. We found light correlated more strongly with basking than temperature. Mismatch between light and temperature conditions could impact thermoregulation." #LightPollution
