  6. Solutions to #LightPollution

    "Light pollution is harming our environment, wildlife habitats, and our quality of life.

    Every day needs a night

    All around us, this unintended pollutant is taking a silent toll. Each year, thousands of migrating birds and shorebirds are killed because of unnecessary artificial light at night. Light pollution threatens aquatic ecosystems by increasing the risk of harmful algae blooms. It also impacts our quality of life by eradicating our access to the wonder of beautiful #NightSkies.

    Help us save the night

    The good news is, the solution is as easy as screwing in a lightbulb. Light pollution is something we can all help erase, in our homes and backyards, the parks that we play in, and the cities and towns we call home.

    Some of the tactics and actions you can take to help immediately are provided below. We hope you’ll join us as we tackle this major problem that gets minimal coverage."

  11. I couldn't get any clearer photos, this is the maximum capability of my smartphone camera. The first two photos are at 10x zoom, the second photo at 2x zoom. Later, when I have enough money, I'll buy a camera hehe. It's really hard for my smartphone camera to get focus on the moon but I did get the photos

  13. This is the total lunar eclipse on 7 September, 2025. This was the first ever lunar eclipse that I have ever seen directly. Although it was difficult to take photos of this, this was an amazing experience indeed. I was lucky the night sky was very clear that night hehe.
