Do you see that ocean of bright lights in the middle of this photo? Those are the data centers near the airport. And this is what I hate most about data centers near where I live: they light them up like Christmas trees every night. Apparently, they're not high tech enough to have Security that doesn't rely on lighting up the place like daylight. While everyone is whining about #SpaceX putting up #satellites to clutter the night sky, I would just like to SEE the night sky. #FuckAI #NoAI
@RunRichRun @mlanger @sundogplanets I wonder if careless lighting is a sign of careless security?
@skyglowberlin @RunRichRun @sundogplanets I wish someone would use the bulbs for target practice. There are enough NRA yahoos around here to pin it on.
@mlanger @skyglowberlin @RunRichRun Have you gotten in touch with your local amateur astronomy club? They often have a lot of great resources and know-how to fight bad lighting practices
@sundogplanets @skyglowberlin @RunRichRun I guess what I'm really trying to say is that it's too late. There's no way in hell the necessary changes will be made to get our night skies back.
@mlanger @skyglowberlin @RunRichRun But you see, that's the nice part about light pollution. It's completely reversible! All you have to do is turn the lights off. (Which is a surprisingly political action sometimes)
@0x0 @sundogplanets @skyglowberlin @RunRichRun I think bullets would be more effective.
