The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc………) surpasses the gravitational waves discovery as the scientific publication in physical sciences with the highest media impact as measured by #Altemetric score. #LightPollution #ALAN

"We don't want light pollution to stop, we want it to be reversed. We want the skies we had before." (Prof. Jaime Zamorano) (h/t Lucía García, Jaime Zamorano ). 👏⬇️

Sulla prestigiosa PNAS viene spiegato bene il nuovo e necessario approccio delle 'linee rosse' invalicabili per ridurre l'inquinamento luminoso. Ecco dove approfondire: doi.org/10.1016/j.envc… doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… doi.org/10.26607/ijsl.… doi.org/10.26607/ijsl.…

It's time to act! Share this appeal to scientists to abate light pollution from artificial lights and satellites' megaconstellations and its consequences on the environment and science: arxiv.org/abs/2307.00598… nature.com/articles/s4155… #LightPollution #Environment

Ottimo video sulle conseguenze ecologiche dell'inquinamento luminoso!

Interessante articolo che analizza come la Natura in sé viene o meno protetta in 6 nazioni europee. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Non sarebbe ora che anche i nostri sindaci italiani prendessero provvedimenti contro l'inquinamento luminoso? comuni_anci Roberto Gualtieri Beppe Sala Stefano Lo Russo Gaetano Manfredi Roberto Lagalla @buccipergenova Matteo Lepore Dario Nardella

Ha ragione Raul Cerveira Lima [email protected] su penedageresmag.com: 'Occorre re-imparare a vivere con meno luce, anche col buio'. La luce non può essere più simbolo di progresso. Ce lo chiede un pianeta al collasso ambientale. La luce artificiale di notte è un inquinante e come tale va trattato.

This red line might as well be from another planet. We are living the last days of Earth and human civilisation as we had come to know them. A tiny bit of ice left in the Arctic is currently keeping temps from rocketing. Once it goes, things will be simply surreal #ClimateCrisis

Salviamo il cielo e l'ambiente notturno dell'ultima isola di buio della penisola italiana! Save the night of the last small dark sky zone in the whole Italian peninsula! chng.it/5m6ZNhJTDB

Find here our new article with insights in how light is propagating in water and the effects of illumination on aquatic ecosystems. I am very proud to be part of the authors team! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… IGB Berlin (now on Bluesky) Tatort Strassenbeleuchtung @Andreas Jechow

It's paper day! Spoiler: artificial light at night is a standard pollutant, and (nearly) all emitted light is polluting or wasted. Accepted version (Green open access): drive.google.com/file/d/1RppNz5… Version of record doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2…

The lights have turned on at "Alligator Alcatraz", and boy howdy, they're bright! The first image is the 3rd July VIIRS-DNB image of the site; second is an aerial photo made earlier today by pilot and photographer Ralph Arwood. A 🧵on what's happening here & why it's important:

¡Magnífica noticia para quienes defendemos el medio nocturno de la #contaminaciónlumínica! La asociación DarkSky International concede su premio más importante al ingeniero Javier Díaz, más de 30 años liderando la protección del cielo desde el IAC Astrofísica. guaix.fis.ucm.es/reecl/node/133 🦉✨

To take for granted that the predatory exploitation of Space is inevitable and essentially good for humankind is a curious axiom. To deduce from this that astronomers should concede defeat and bow to the new overlords is a remarkable non sequitur.

One million satellites could be unilaterally authorized by a single government ➡️ It is time for some countries to activate the international consultation process provided for in OST article IX...
