Opinions are my own.
Dr. John Barentine FRASSomething we suspected for a long time, but now there is some research backing it: "Our research also suggests that those people who live in more light-polluted areas are less connected to the night sky and feel less likely to protect it."

Did you know if you use Google Streetview to look at the beaches at Midway atoll, you can see albatrosses and their nests everywhere? Amazing!! Thanks very much to Roberta Swift at USFW, who is posted there now, for showing me this. 🤯. https://maps.app.goo.gl/wBKqwWQtu2mKZ9hh6?g_st=ic
Thanks for reposting @raulclima I learned that this particular spectroradiometer has a floor of 1 lux +/- 10% so all the data are unreliable at this low light level. I have a new, very sensitive illuminance meter on the way, and an SQM-L, so better data will be posted.
Electrochromic windows on the 787 are very cool, both literally and figuratively, and effective. The only downside I can see, so far, is their slow rate of response.

Unicorn RiotThe Story of Chris Kaba: How London Police Hide Behind the Thin Blue Line
Chris Kaba, 24, was unarmed when he was #KilledByPolice in London on Sept. 5, 2022. Last month, the unnamed officer that killed Kaba was charged with murder. Protesting the charge, officers stopped working & are threatening to quit the force if the officer has his anonymity shield lifted and is named publicly.
