  14. „When millions of people turn off their lights for Earth Hour each year, something remarkable happens in the night sky above cities. New research from Hong Kong published in Scientific Reports shows that just a small number of decorative buildings and advertising boards can dramatically brighten the entire urban night sky and when they go dark, the sky becomes up to 50% darker.“

  24. In order to fully understand how #LightPollution affects our world, we need to know how much of it is in which places. Divergent results from different measurement methods present some tension, but recent research suggests a way forward.

  29. Another organism found to be navigating by the stars that could be confused by both #skyglow and #satellites.

    To the extent that other moth species might also be using stars as navigation guides, and to the extent that some of those species pollinate our food crops, #DarkSkies are more important than ever.

  39. Künstliches #Himmelsleuchten fördert das Wachstum potenziell giftiger #Cyanobakterien und verändert den #Kohlenstoffkreislauf in Seen.

    Das passiert selbst bei minimaler Beleuchtung von nur 0,06 Lux. Das zeigte eine großangelegte Studie des Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei.

    #Lichtverschmutzung wirkt damit weit über #Städte hinaus und beeinflusst empfindliche #Süßwasserökosysteme.
