Muy buena nota a Florencia Reichmann sobre contaminacion lumínica. La conozco, colaboro en un proyecto con ella y es probablemente la persona que más sabe sobre este tema en el país https://ladiaria.com.uy/ambiente/articulo/2026/3/florencia-reichmann-no-hay-ninguna-reglamentacion-ni-normativa-que-limite-la-emision-de-luz-nocturna-artificial-en-uruguay/

Florencia Reichmann: “No hay ninguna reglamentación ni normativa que limite la emisión de luz nocturna artificial en Uruguay”

La investigadora habló con la diaria sobre la necesidad de regular la contaminación lumínica, cuáles son los principios de la iluminación respetuosa y las posibles “reservas de cielo nocturno” en el país.

Cut the lights – and seven more ways to save Britain’s bats

Lots of us aren’t very keen on bats. But the more we find out about them, the more amazing they turn out to be

The Milky Way, stretching as a luminous band across the night sky, a sight that, today, few people can experience due to light pollution, far from cities, in deserts, tundras, mountains or along remote coastlines.

AI can bring back this lost view as an illusion, painting the starry sky where it has long faded. But what it cannot replace are the other real consequences of light pollution, such as the decline of insects, much of which is caused by it.

You can't take the sky from me

We'll raise our 'scopes again!

(If the telescope emoji in your platform is crap don't get salty: find us an artist and maybe this will turn into a design fit for a sticker or a tattoo. Weirder things have happened here.)

Europe turns the lights off to save the planet while tech bros want to eradicate the night with giant mirrors.

"Astronomy educates the public; astronomy trains a data- and technology-centred workforce; astronomy supports other sciences, providing a laboratory to physicists and a chance to investigate other worlds to biologists and geologists; astronomy inspires curiosity and art and interest in science; astronomy involves big projects; astronomy gets people out into nature; astronomy is an international field, with global collegiality; astronomy adds to the repository of human knowledge. These are the aspects of astronomy that we should be regularly reminding our elected representatives about."

A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth | The-14

A million new SpaceX satellites could overwhelm the night sky outnumbering stars and raising risks of pollution collisions and global space governance concerns.

As a kid my father used to take me camping in remote areas of Queensland & New South Wales.

I remember how amazing the night sky was.

I miss it.

#LightPollution has been everywhere I’ve lived as an adult.
